[ubuntu-in] Offline Ubuntu

[Kartik S]

Hi! all,
This topic has been probably discussed before. I have a personal laptop with
Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit running great with all the softwares I need. I have a
office computer (pentium 4 ) with windows and full of viruses requiring
repeated formatting to keep it going. needless to say it does not have a net
connection.
Now I am ready to go ahead and install Ubuntu or any other distro with the
following aims:
1. Stable and crash free
2. user friendly to those used to 'wincedows'
3. Attract more users to ubuntu/linux.
4. We have lot of old printers without drivers which I believe would run
well with Ubuntu/Linux.

The main  problem with Ubuntu I envisage would be adding and updating
software without a net connection. I don't know if it is possible to run the
computer with a live USB stick which can be updated on another computer.
Advice is solicited for a distro which would run out of the box, easy to
upgrade and is user friendly for 'wincedows' people.
regards
Kartik
