Why don't you set it up as some kind of leveling system. Start with a
distro that is closest to windows. Make the users try that out, when
they are confident enough, get them to move on to a more "linux type"
distro. If some users have already tried that distro, but would like
to try another one, then you have it all set up, and they can free
ride over to level 2. etc..
