...more so than the choice they already face between Fedora, Ubuntu, 
Mandrake, Mint, <insert favorite distro>? (Yes, I know, bring on the old 
'straw, camel' story...)

Also, I want to pick at your use of "blindly"; who says it has to be 
blind? Why not work to educate users about the difference? A "Take a 
Tour" would probably be good publicity anyway. (You know, take the edge 
off that "no clue what they're doing" thing...)
