Is the choice one of which hook we use? Cheap entertainment, or skills for life? The young of today know the difference.
How about "just works with the hardware/peripherals they have" and "doesn't do *less* than windows" ? "First, do no harm".
In general, Mandrake has been a good answer. It looks like SuSE might be a good answer in the future. This year I think it's six of one, and half-a-dozen of the other.
