If Software Freedom Day people are are comfortable recommending 
Spybuntu, I guess I'm happy to not argue with them.

I agree that current Spybuntu desktop is absolutely miserable, and not 
good for novice users. I'd recommend XUbuntu or KUbuntu instead of 
Ubuntu, these days.

But remember, it's only their first distro, and they're coming from a 
100% closed platform, so the small amounts of damage that default 
Spybuntu inflicts on users is far less than they've been used to.

These days, I tell Linux newbies to try KUbuntu or (if they have a Mac) 
PearOS, and tell them to switch to Debian in 6 months.

Ok, how about this: burn 3 discs for install fest, Spybuntu, Debian, and 
Trisquel.

Given the privacy-centric perspective of TA3M-Seattle, I guess I should 
recommend TAILS as an alt image. :-)
