>Debian+KDE is great for non-technical end users, who mostly are used to and want win95 on steroids. I'd agree, but Debian is just not packaged in a convenient way.

For this reason, my recommendation would rather be Zorin, which literally aims to be "windows-like" to ease the transition from it. And frankly, to me, as someone who knows their way around Linux, is also attractive. It's a neat bundle of capable software that's tuned for out of the box experience.
