This is just a req to ask for what people are running out there, as a
suggestion for what I should try.
My wife and young children have found Ubuntu 8.04.1's desktop very easy
to pick up and use; in fact, my wife has switched to it full-time, and
only reboots into Windows when she needs to fill her iPod, then boots
back into Ubuntu.

Ubuntu looks pretty nice, even just the 'LiveCD' session i tried...
I booted up gOS beta 3, and it looks an awfuuuuul lot like Ubuntu...I assume there's
some cross-breeding there
My WiFi worked on the Ubuntu LiveCD session, but does not under gOS LiveCD...
The old-school distros as nice as these out-of-box? Like Debian/Slackware/Suse/etc... ?
I'm starting an install of Ubuntu as we speak
Now, Jim, before I go digging, wasn't it you that mentioned some extra proggies for
running games?
Was that to use std win games under *nix?
