After it is setup, Debian is just like any other desktop. KDE or Gnome.

Now the question is, which distribution should we suggest? Which desktop environment? Which email client (closer to Outlook look and feel) ?
Thunderbird is the closest to Outlook Express and the Linux version is quite stable as I have been using it for many years. Avoid the doze version as it keeps forgetting profiles even after so many years and versions. As distros, Ubuntu and Kubuntu have 'live + install' CDs that can be popped into the current machines to check out compatibility and speed of operation. If not the latest ones, try one version earlier. For older machines use Debian 5 (Lenny).
You are suggesting debian for a new user moving from windows to linux ? Debian must have changed drastically since i tried it last -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
