I would recommend going for the easy option: servers.  To end-users
they're transparent and the only thing they notice is the lack of
problems.  There are some good SME distros that bundle all the useful
tools for a low-end server into a nice user interface.  I highly rate
e-smith, www.e-smith.org

> How about an educational-biased Knoppix?
> We hand this out at shows, or pass on to teachers (and pupils!).

Would be good for promoting the idea, at least.
