"I wanted to offer something that has codecs built in for the new user and I hear mint is a good choice for this. it is based on ubuntu" Yes I found that when supplying used computers that Linux mint was necessary as Ubuntu just caused too much pain (users just want it all to work and work now!). From personal experience only end users need that extra bit of polish on their systems.
