I have installed and used ubuntu for only a short time on an x86 and a little longer on a PowerBook.
Linspire is by far the most user friendly Linux system and this is assisted by its simple install, user interface and the CNR installation software. I would highly recommend it for cross over users from Windows or MAC and non technical users.
Also the default is to have a single user as root but this however this can be simply altered by creating a non root user and you get back all the bennefits of linux security etc. My home system just auto logs in and the family have no idea that they are not root. Applications installed by CNR are installed to a share directory for all to use but user data is stored in an appropriate home directory.
