Comment pro and con please
First Question:
  Would you be willing to give a system with this to a new users?
   If NOT then what would you recomend instead?

  Besides setting the base system up and answering the first 100+ how do I
question, how much tech support to expect them to need?

Relate If you say YES the what base set of additional packages would you
install.
 {home user Web surfacing, games, email, light wp}


Note my Future plans is to install on some formally XP class machines with
medium Video card

So far I've installed into a VirtualBox Machine
     2 - processor (pae),   (1.6 dual on the XP)
    2048 meg memory
    64 meg Video              (XP has more, but...)
    150 Gig drive (sata)

  These are close to the specs of one of the XP machine's.

{ Note my HOST machine is a MAC with 16 gig mem and 2.8 GHz core I7 so
there is plenty enough power for testing. I regularly run 2 or 3 virtual
machines. }

Here is the link to what I installed:

I like what I've seen so far of Mate.
     {-: though it's not my gNome 2 setup :-}

Like the idea that I don't have to "upgrade" as it's suppose to keep
updating be Packs see:
