At the current time, Fedora Linux ( http://fedora.redhat.com ) and Ubuntu Linux ( http://www.ubuntu.com ) are likely your best choices for "free and easy to use". There may be other distributions even easier to use, but Fedora and Ubuntu have more users, so it will be easier to find somebody who can help you if you get stuck.
Getting Mac OS X to run on a Toshiba is almost doomed to failure unless you have some *serious* technical skills (and I'm talking "have multiple full-time programmers handy"). It would be much cheaper to just buy one of the new Intel-based Macs and set it up to dual-boot OSX and Win XP. ;)

Get her a pocket workstation. present day operating platforms are not designed to be so easy as a pocket workstation. (And the very incontrovertible fact that you may have 5 courses operating yet in easy words a million seen confuses the heck out of a few human beings.) BTW, tell her to get with the circumstances - i'm retired, and that i nonetheless write incredibly complicated software. it really isn't any longer age, it really isn't any longer growing to be up contained in the days of huge radios that were area of the furnishings. We previous human beings can nonetheless take care of Linux from a command line.

Check google for freeware OS or wikipedia for lists of OS and the ones that you can download for free.

I'd recommend UBUNTU.
if you download the iso & burn it to cd, you'll be able to run it from a live cd without installing it on the machine...
...this will give you the chance to see if you like it before you screw up your hard drive.
