Ubuntu
It took me longer to find the screws for the hard drive tray than to install Ubuntu. Only the iWork version of Java Desktop System installed faster, and that's probably because it reformats your hard drive without asking.
But Ubuntu also got me going almost right away with Nvidia setup, a pain two years ago. The only thing I had to figure out for myself was man -k dsl to find out how to set up PPPoE.
All in all, it seems easier than anything I've seen outside Sun's iWork CDs. I don't know if you can tell, but I have no terminals open in the screenshot, and the fonts look very nice.
