From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I vote Ubuntu, I started as a complete noob about 10 years ago with them and at first it was frustrating and tough, but now everything is just done for me, software updates, sure! I all the sudden want to want a windows-type application, sure! I love that it comes with Firefox, which from what I've read should make your family safer from the initial launch of the browser, no matter where the site they want to reach.
