I downloaded the gOS that runs on that Walmart PC... it's Ubuntu with the Enlightenment desktop. It's pretty, slick and easy to use. The problem I see is that Mom and Pop Walmartshopper are going to be 100% clueless the moment they need to do anything like add software, add a new desktop icon, or otherwise do anything beyond what is there out of the box. It goes from simple to Huh pretty quickly. What they really need is to add a "top ten things you're going to want to do" wizard to make it more appropriate for the 'nix challenged. Until then, Linspire has them beat for the 'easiest desktop linux' crown
