Hi Phil, I know Hans is probably the person who needs to answer this with any authority, but I think rc5 is totally rippin'... for general use it almost never crashes for me on linux (this depends on what libs you load and use though, naturally). And it has that sexy Deja Vu Sans Mono font!
If your novices will be using different OSes, in my experience pd-extended is probably the simplest way to get around the potential headaches. Your other options would be putting together packages (zip files?) of the binaries (you would have to have them for each architecture in use) or going with the crusty crustacean 0.38-4 extended.
