So, I think I might just start recommending Linux only for new non computer savvy users. They seem be to taking to it naturally, so why not encourage it.

Because you'll need to offer 100% of the technical support. In the times I've tried to use Linux and something has gone wrong, I've done my best to research my problems online. I don't know about the other distros, but I was very disappointed by the Ubuntu forums. There's no support for newbies over there.
*edit*
And I can't believe you keep saying this in thread after thread that the non-computer literate would thrive in Linux. I'm still convinced that you have little actual experience supporting these types of people. I do, and I'm certain that they wouldn't.
