I don't know if this has been discussed before or not, but I figured I would bring it up.
Has anyone else here heard of the disto, Linux Mint? http://lt.k1011.nutime.de/ Personally it is what I suggest new newbies. To say that it is based on Ubuntu would be an overstatement. It IS Ubuntu, but with a better looking skin and all multimedia codecs installed by default. So, like Ubuntu, it is super easy to use and install, but like Windows, it just works! Oh, and on a related note, I got one of my nerdy friends who knows nothing about Linux to try out Mint last night. It took him about five minutes before he was throwing a tit because he couldn't install it since he wasn't on his own computer. :D
