generally speaking Mandrake is the easiest to setup for a newbie.
it still requires you to read a little documentation and think, but is not 
too bad.  Mdk 8.1 is the current release.

the others are good and have their strong points, but mdk is a good place to 
start.

as for MS office 2000, there is already a thread about that in this news 
group.
you would do good to read it.

FWIW, i use Abiword and staroffice.

good luck with the change over.
