Your wife will like Linspire. Oh I know the Fisher Price look is sort of cartoonish but after playing around with it, your wife will forget its even Windows. Plus, there's tons of software that can be downloaded from the company's digital wherehouse. When she has more experience, she can move onto a more "grownup" distro like Mandriva or Suse Linux.

I appreciate your suggestions; I will download openoffice ASAP and start the transition.

I doubt I will be able to line up another computer where I am right now, however, so Linux may have to wait until that arrives, given the suggestion that partitioning might not be so hot an idea. I'm comfortable with it. But I don't really want to make waves with the wife on the computer (it's a replacement for a crashed HP--did I mention HP sucks?). She's been without reliable stateside communication for a little while and is only now getting re-used to having an internet connection again full-time, and dealing with partitioning would rock her world, I think.
