For the use case, ubuntu might be a good lead-in for confidence
building. I once read on luv-main, in slightly longer form:
"My grandmother currently runs ubuntu. This was not my doing, but she
managed to wipe her windows and install it accidentally when someone
handed her the live CD to deal with a windows problem she was having.
The computer asked her to do things. So she did."
