We had a slightly more far flung idea in here, how to welcome first timers. 
Maybe you like it (I'll simply copy it from the old Mail):

A list of Options (a nicely designed page, naturally): 
- First item: "Burn and Run" A LIVE-CD (Maybe Kubuntu)
- Download individual KDE-Apps || Install KDE Gnu/Linux on your Computer 
(several ways with simple descriptions)
- "not quite ready yet?" Methods of getting KDE for the OS (Portage-osx, KDE 
on Windows, etc.)

Some more info:
