Found this one today - Q4OS, not one Ive come across before.
Q4OS - desktop operating system
Its only a small distro - the isos are only 200-300 ish mb depending on which one you want to have a look at, and it looks very much like winxp.
Im just loading it up into a win7 virtual machine to have a play with it - and its clever enough to recognise its inside a vm - its gave me a pop up saying "Im running in a virtual machine!"
Anyway this may be a suitable alternative for beginners to have a play with - its lightweight enough on resources that you can try any old scaffy computer or laptop you have lying around. Just make sure that the hdd doesnt have anyrthing important on it as there doesnt seem to be a live image option - just install.
