I would vote for Mepis Linux. While they do sell access to the faster
and often newer downloads, there is also a link to several free sites
here

This is a good little desktop distro that is great for setting up people
who just use the internet and e-mail and want to play solitaire. Its a
great distro for beginners because it seems to just work.
