Exactly what I've been saying. NO spoonfeeding but I haven't found a
bootable CD yet that could be handed to someone and have the equiv. of
windows or mac functionality when they boot. Most can't even show a
video from the internet. Debian & Ubuntu wouldn't let me 'just plug in
removable media' without whining about sudo.

Something easy to get started or we've lost the show right at the
starting line.
