or even easier just switch to Ubuntu,.  I just upgraded over the
weekend and I think the ones he was looking for could be enabled right
from the load screen.

Ubuntu 9.04 is plug and play anyone can use it and most don't even
know they are running something else, except it doesn't crash and you
don't have to constantly rearrange your hard drive and few if any
viruii and hard for spam etc etc etc, oh yeah and it is free.
