I had good experiences in the past with providing PC-BSD to users
with (1st) beginner-level knowledge and (2nd) sufficiently modern
hardware. As a German, I found that KDE's localisation and inter-
nationalisation, the language support for the german language,
was not as good as that of Gnome. Minor problems occured when
needing to install codecs (to make the KDE media player usable),
but that's not because of a technical, but an idiotic reason. :-)

The overall "out of the box experience" is still quite good, and
the amount of time needed to get things working is significantly
small, as long as you don't have "extraordinary" hardware you need
to support.

Yes, but it's not *my* cup of tea... :-)

KDE contains a "complete" messenger system that can connect to
Yahoo services, as far as I remember. Skype should work, too, but
*may* be limited in regards of videoconferencing.
