Hi. You may want to try Sidux. It is based on Debian SID (still in development). While it may not be for everyone, I like it much better than Kubuntu (I can't stand Gnome).
The only person whom I will support Windows for is my mother. She has an ancient laptop that does not support enough memory to run any version of Linux. It runs Win95, and all she does is a bit of word processing and plays solitaire. I have never owned a copy of XP, although I have seen it on friend's computers. I have managed to convert a few folks to Linux myself, One of whom has since converted (with some help) a small town school system. How that came about was that he was hired as a Dj for a dance. OF course he took his computer (loaded with Sidux, XMMS, and his music collection and playlists). The school principle noticed that he wasn't running Linux, and asked about Sidux. My friend ended up installing Sudux on all of the schools computers, with the help of a teacher who knew networking in Windows, but had never seen Linux before. Any information that they needed was quickly found on the Sidux Forums, or on the net.
I do feel that Linux is ready for the average non-computer savy computer user...more so than Vista!
