Hey Scott,
Have you looked at Mandrake?  I've been working with v10 now for a few
months, have a half-dozen novice (ex-Windows) users converted that love
it, and it looks good for a nice friendly desktop OS. It does get really
cranky about cheap hardware but other than that it seems to be quite
stable and well supported.
