When I first started playing with Linux (RedHat Distribution -- Version 5.2 Deluxe), it was a present from a father's friend in Boston. As I recall that is the only version of RedHat I ever got to work correctly without any major problems (like "Kernel Segmentation Error" or something to that effect).

I just installed Mandrake 9.0 on a computer for a friend who has a problem telling the difference between a web-site and a browser... :-) Good luck. I think that he will do well.. :-)
The article mentioned about dependancy hell. I'm not good at the command line at all, but in the last month I have learned urpmi which is little more than copy/paste. Problem in the past with dependancies are gone...
The program kopete was mentioned in these messages. I never saw it.
