I disagree. I found Ubuntu to have more outdated packages than Debian it's 
self!
To me the 2 most user / newbie are..
Xandros (I wont support them any more but it is almost flawless in its 
ease of use.)
PCLinux 07. The Comunity is great, and everything works. The packages are 
updated and if there is a broken package a simple report to Texstar and 
its fixed in just a couple of days. The author is very responsive and 
active in the comunity. Wi-Fi just works and when Ubuntu would NOT work 
with my spare TX-100 ATA IDE card.. PCLinux did.

Thank you for your time,
