I've had a lot of luck moving "non-geek" users to Linux. For those that cite these (once valid) points:
* Driver support
* Running windows applications (and here I'm including their equivalent, or under Wine/Crossover)
* Ease of use/installation
I'd be interested to hear what distro they tried and when they tried it. My last few installs of Debian/Ubuntu, even on non-x86 hardware has been a breeze and certainly much quicker than installing a fresh copy of XP.
