I'd recommend going with an Ubuntu derivative.
(The koolaid goes down smoother when you dilute
it with some alcohol.)

I've been really happy with Linux Mint on a couple of older
laptops and a few desktop installs.   Mint 9 is u10.04 LTS,
mint 10 is the 10.10 core both have worked well.

I've also seen the Zorin derivative recommended, though
most specifically as a choice for converting windisease
victims.
