the latest version (17) is really nice. It's also a long term support release. I have the Cinnamon version on triple boot with Windows 7 and Manjaro 8. I find myself using Linux Mint more than Manjaro lately.

the xfce version should work nicely on your computer...

I would strongly advise (if you have room) to make some space for a hard drive install so you can dual boot with your Windows setup.. The linux OS will really work faster and and you will get the best overall performance with dedicated hardware drivers on a native install to a hard drive.

as you know there are many others but I think Linux Mint is the best of the bunch right now. Especially for people used to doing things the Windows way..

here is my Mint desktop with just a few minor adjustments from out of the box...the background is a screenshot from MS Flight Simulator X

i rather use manjaro

for first timer I used Ubuntu to feel my feet, some good free software on the linux side of the computer these days as well

I use CentOS because I like the interface/command line. This is what most web servers use to date. There are others out there, but CentOS Is very robust for server applications. Most Game, Webhost and File servers are run with CentOS.
