[LUG] most graphically impressive live-cd - for a windows user to try

 

Hi Folks

A good friend of mine, Ian, is buying a new laptop and a new desktop.
The laptop is for his wife to do her uni work on and the desktop is
for him to play games on - he is a big gamer.

We have had a brief conversation about linux and I have managed to
persuade him to try a live CD. Ian and the rest of his family are used
to a GUI. He has no knowledge (yet) of the command line.

What I want to do is show linux off by using a really *nice looking*
live-cd. If I can tempt Ian with a sexy GUI, then perhaps I can get
him to dual boot and begin his linux journey.

 I was thinking perhaps linux mint?, but wondered what everyone else thought?

Many thanks
Best wishes
Roly
