I just recently installed ubuntu and have found it to be fairly user friendly. The ubuntu motto is "linux for human beings" and it pretty much sticks to that. It uses the gnome desktop and comes with GAIM, firefox, and open office. The newest version is due out next month.

I still haven't figured out how to get the wireless to work but the LAN connection works no problems.

I don't really know anything about command lines, but thus far haven't really needed to learn any. At some point I'm going to have to ask a CS friend for some help to install the correct video drivers.

And ubuntu has the coolest screensavers. The hypercube is mesmerizing.
