i would go with ubuntu its supposed to be a lot easier to configure - i am downloading a copy as a i speak. I found fedora core pretty easy to install, but you're right simple things like installing stuff on linux can be a hassle if you're used to the plug and playability of macs and pcs (macs are by far easier than pcs, still! )
another thing about macs - a lot of 'pc people' are turned off by mac's simplicity which they mistake for lack of funcationality , actually mac software tends to be quite intuitive and deceptively simple, meaning you can do some pretty complex stuff with it.
ITunes is a great example - before itunes, mp3 players didn't do well because their interfaces were so poor -
