Mandrake has already been recommended, but one thing to add is that it 
is often given away with linux format mag. LF kind of 'defaults' to 
Mandrake & similar, often distributing the relevant rpms on the cover 
discs. Easy-to-read tutorials and new toys to play with every month! 
Depends whether manualphobic == magazinephobic as well, and what they 
want to use their computers for.
