Recommend a Linux release for very, very non-specialist

I'm looking for a release to put on my Mom's computer to replace a
totally borked Windows XP (refuses to install new printer drivers,
people who might know aren't helping.)

I need something with a desktop that isn't radically different from the
classic XP with the START button.  Very strong preference for a release
that I can carry down complete on a few DVDs and install without the
Internet.

Killer apps will be LibreOffice, Mahjongg, Image Viewer, and VLC.  Bonus
points if I can get existing Scrabble app to run under Wine.

	Thanks,		Mel.
