I would argue Mandrake was the first user friendly distro. Ubuntu made 
their nut shipping free CDs to anyone who asked. Meanwhile Mandrake had 
stepped into it with copyright issues and became Mandriva. I tried to get 
openMandriva up in a VM with not success. 

Mandrake came in a nice boxed set but unbelievably you had to buy it 
rather than getting free gibs.
