Mandrake is GNU Linux so that is understandable.

Installing Debian -- recently -- gave me a KDE default.

As I recall, installing Mandrake a few years ago gave me a GNOME
default.

The make-or-break would be which document types does she need

GNOME, KSpread is KDE). Abiword is an excellent word processor, and I
know it has a GNOME interface as well as a GTK one.
