[olug] Newbie Linux Distro

[Trent Melcher]

Personally,  I would give them RedHat, Install is about the easiest I
have seen for a Newbie.  Let them play around with it for a while then
once they are comfortable with it, then move on toone of the better
Disro's.

Im going to help a linux newbie set up his first distro.  But I am
unsure what 
to give him.  My personal best experiences lie in Gentoo and Debian.  

Gentoo takes way too long and is a little advanced.
Debian is good, but stable is SO OLD, and relatively useless..... and
unstable 
and testing are really buggy.

So What would everyone reccomend?  and WHY?
