Which version

[Mike Bonner]

Hey, i'm sending a laptop to a friend in another state, and am going to be
installing a version of LC community for them to play with.  The laptop is
a mac core 2 duo (white.)  I'm trying to decide WHICH version to send.  For
reliability and speed, i'm leaning towards a NON 7+ version.  For features,
i'm leaning the other way.  However, since unicode stuff probably won't be
a big issue for them at first.. Is there any big glaring reason other than
unicode, to set it up with 7?  Recommendations for the most stable version?

Thanks in advance.
