I'd suggest using Slackware (current version is 10.2).  The installation is
hassle-free.  The distribution has virtually everything you could want.  You
can choose from a number of window managers...KDE is great and current.  Use
liloconfig to manage the dual boot business.  Then, it's an easy job to set
up your wife's username and .bash_profile to 'startx' when she logs onto the
machine.  Also, if she wants to "poke around with Linux," there is really no
better choice than Slackware, in my humble opinion...
