Start with something easy? Ubuntu or Kubuntu sounds a good choice BUT. I just cannot get on with Debian-based distros or Gnome. So openSUSE is also a good distro to try, seeing as it's rpm and KDE. The difficulty, of course, is that telling a noob to try several distros could be off-putting, even if it is good advice. And tell them that when they know a bit more, set up a system with Slack or gentoo or arch or somesuch. Even if they don't use it, the act of getting it to work should teach them a lot.
