I currently do not have a better suggestion. I will spend a little time taking a look around to see what is available, compare sizes, examine functionality, and overall determine (my opinion) which distribution is best suited for the average user. I will also keep in mind that the user more than likely does not have any experience in using an alternative operating system. In fact, I believe that most users will not have much knowledge of computers. Subsequently, a plug & play approach to installation is a must.
