You two should have a look at Linux LiveCDs, e.g. Ubuntu. Download a  
copy, burn it to CD/DVD, put the thing into the drive, reboot and  
you're up. No typing, no manual configuration, no headaches.

LiveCDs automatically detect and use swap partitions on available  
hard disks, give you a fully functional user account, give access to  
network and all hardware and even allow installation of additional  
packages without touching the hard disk.

It's amazing, far ahead of Mac OS X. If you do the few additional  
steps of putting the distribution ISO onto an USB stick, it's even fast.

For sustained usage, installation to a disk is recommended, of  
course. :-)
