ubuntu installation

[Blindraven]

It will comes with everything you need to get started, and is extremely easy
to install.
Regarding Microsoft Word, Excell, PDF documents and the rest - Just get open
office.

You can obtain Open Office here - http://download.openoffice.org/other.html
Download the English .deb

For a simple .pdf viewer I'd go KPDF but it's a matter of preference really.

I used to use http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/overview.html to get myself
up and running but there is a  more up to date alternative called Ultimatix
(which I won't link) but a lot of elitists do not like as as it does thing's
in a way contrary to how they think things should be done. Even if it does
not really, except for vastly insignificant minority - do anything but save
you time and ease the transition process.

your call.

Have fun.
