For your non-windows solution I would recommend pushing Ubuntu. It's
free, tell them to try it, if they don't like it, they can buy a license
for Vista. Ubuntu has a lot of advantages for new users, one of the
biggest being that there is the Pennsylvania Local Community Team
(http://www.meetlinux.com) providing free community support all over
Pennsylvania, plus Ubuntu Forums have a wealth of information. Don't
worry so much about interface change, that's really not as drastic as
some other things can be, it's not like going from Windows to command
line, the principals are the same, you might try KDE if you want the
"start button" effect, but I think a lot of new users will prefer the
elegant simplicity of gnome (please no flame war). My vote goes for Ubuntu.
