I'll also let you know how it goes w/ my suitemate, since it looks like he's been sucked in by its flash
Remeber where you are asking this question... had you asked on a Sabayon board the response would likely have been different. That said, for a brand new Linux user I would recommend neither Sabayon nor Ubuntu... rather check out LinuxMint, Mepis, PCLinuxOS or SAM Linux. These distros are a little more friendly to new users than the two you mentioned. I would recommend SAM because I am on the dev team there, but all the others are great choices as well. All of these have liveCDs, so why not try them all .
