Give a newbie a blank hard drive and copies of windows and, say, Fedora or Ubantu (I don't know mandrake, that might be better). In my experience, more people would get a functioning desktop running with windows first.
You mustn't forget that when you install Linux, you're not just getting a blank desktop - you're getting several gigabytes of additional software as well. Compare the installation process for any single-disc Linux distro with Windows XP and you'll get a working desktop much quicker and (in my opinion) more easily.
