One more question, with Adobe work on Mint?

Think I will have time to try the install tonight.

Thanks again for all the help!

No, you need to get The Gimp. Unbelievable piece of software for free. You'll need to reorient yourself in the GUI but it'll do most everything that Photchop does.

Open terminal and do

sudo apt-get install gimp

Or use the software center.

Virtual Box from Sun for a VM GUI.

You need to be a little more specific. Which Adobe product are you asking about?

If it is just to read pdf files, you will not need an Adobe product. Evince is included for that.

Did you get Mint downloaded? Do you need a disk?

Once you download and install Mint run Software Center and you can a) determine what is currently installed, b) find software solutions you want/need and install them.

Windows 7 Home is like $99. Do you need to ask permission to spend under $100?

As an upgrade. If his old hard drive is hosed, the upgrade won't run on a blank drive AFAIK.

No, this is OEM. It will load on a blank drive.

Posting this from Mint... weird... wouldn't boot from the CD, Transfered files to USB, booted from there. May have hardware problems but computer is running really good for now.

I'm off to watch the world series, will mess with this more later. (expect more questions )

Again, huge thank you to all that helped!
