My dad, a home Windows user, told me he was going to have pay $80 to
renew Symantec anti-virus. This gave me the idea that I should
finally get around to migrating him to Linux! Especially since he
complains that his Windows PC keeps getting slower and slower.
I ordered this refurb Acer mini PC with Intel Atom quad-core 2.41GHz,
4GB RAM & 1TB HDD:

I am thinking of installing the latest Ubuntu (15.04). Personally, I
run Debian on everything, but I figure Ubuntu would be easier for a
Windows convert.
1) Any other distro that folks would for a Linux newbie?
2) What's the best way to convert the Acer's pre-installed Windows 8.1
into a VM before install Linux?
thanks!
