Well I just went to the Dell site and took the survey. Voted for Ubuntu because it is probably the best of the listed distros for new users. I played with U-6.06 for a couple days and it was nice. I'm using my favorite now, VectorLinux 5.8 but it this is not the distro for brand new Windows migrants.
Sure hope Dell and HP follow through with their Linux plans. #2 - By L1Wulf, 63 months, 12 days, 17 hours ago.
While I agree that Ubuntu is probably the easiest mainstream distro for new/migrating users, don't forget that a significant number of their computers go to businesses. I think this is mainly for the end user who already reformats and installs their own distro of choice (be it an IT guy or savvy home user).
