Best software for noobs

[Test Bank Guy]

What is the best and easiest software for noobs to mine and which pools are the easiest and safest to use.  Making this better known will attract more users.

Yep, I would also advocate GUIMiner, and as for pools, BTCGuild. Easy, no percentage cut (except transaction fees), popular.

GUIminer for sure.  Especially after todays release (7/1/2011).  I got an extra ~10 MH/s out of my 5830s just by upgrading and then tipped the author.

Cheers.

:O New release today? I better get on that. And yeah, I agree, GUIMiner is easy to use and runs quietly in the background with no command prompts or commands to enter in.

I can confirm this. My 5850 is running about 12MH/s faster, even with that kernel update posted a while ago.
