I don't have any *buntu 13.10 install, but I have given up 12.04 and
while Arch Linux is my main distro, I still maintain a 12.10 install,
IOW IMO 13.10 is the better choice, assumed it shouldn't have any known
issues. Regarding to Windows paint consider to install the Ubuntu Studio
meta packages or directly install to one of the laptops Ubuntu Studio.
Ubuntu Studio is based on Xubuntu. http://ubuntustudio.com/

It's good that your neighbour is that interested that he found you by a
posting.

If Paint is really needed and shouldn't run with wine, consider to get
the licensed Windows of those PCs running in VirtualBox. It seems to be
semi-legal and should be possible. Last month or this month this was
discussed in a thread on Debian users mailing list, I don't remember the
subject at the moment.
