I gave my Sister an Ubuntu machine a couple years back, it's 'perfect' for Internet and Computer newbies... until something goes wrong, then you can be sure a phone call is coming your way. Honestly though, after 10.0 came out, it has been perfect... and once they learn how to get / install the basics of software and games and see how much they have to go through, they light up with joy.
Couple years later now, and she said that she'll never go back to Windows... she loves Ubuntu and has no idea how to use it or what it can do.
