I agree with magnetic, Ubuntu works great on iBooks, and is one of the most user friendly OS's out there aswell. I'd go for kubuntu though as I don't like gnome, but that's just my opinion, both are pretty great.

I don't have a mac anymore so don't know if EasyUbuntu and Automatix is available for PPC, but if so I'd say yes. After installing everything that needs to be there, Ubuntu linux is almost just as user friendly as Mac OS. Even easier if the person using it has a Windows background.

My little sister changed to Ubuntu about a year ago and has no problems with it. She runs all the programs she needs (amsn with webcam support, limewire, xmms, VLC, Opera and some small games) and I don't want to think about how unstable her computer would become after using Windows for a while.  :-P
