Yes - and for those suggesting ubuntu as better for a non-technical user
I think the real question is whether the user will do any of their own
changes (like adding new programs) and updates. If they do, ubuntu is
probably a good choice. If they will ask you to do it for them, then it
would be the system that you are most comfortable with maintaining.
+1
maybe the distro is not that important, and more interesting is the answer to the question "what is the typical user doing with it's computer?"
in this regard, i'd start at mauriat miranda's fedora checklist, and add to it depending on user's needs.
(
actually, when fc6 ended it's life, i wanted to switch one friend's notebook to centos 5. unfortunately, the (new,hp) printer didn't worked, after it was bought because the lexmark mfp didn't worked, and after it worked fine on fc6. so the notebook ended in fedora 9.
