I would give a try to Mandrake 8.0 . Is supports what they call "Lin4Win" or 
Linux on FAT partition. It is friendly with laptops and easy to install.

On their site www.mandrake-linux.com check "demo" and "documentation" 
sections. And on their CDs, there's also documentation and, IIRC all the 
demos as well.


Salut,
