 From the phone number we can tell Eduardo lives in Bajos de Chila, 
Oaxaca. See: 
http://www.maps-of-mexico.com/oaxaca-state-mexico/oaxaca-state-mexico-map-b3.shtml
It's near the coast, to the left of Puerto Escondido. They probably have 
dial-up access, at least.

As to the distribution choice, others on the list are better prepared to 
answer your question (I can feel the distro jihad brewing up).

Still, I wonder: If Eduardo reads English and your Inspiron has RH6 
running on it, why change?

Cheers,

Eugenio
