I currently am helping a local non-profit org in my area. They just got
some computers donated but there is absolutely nothing on the hard
drives. So my question is, what is a very good Linux OS that I can
install that is really stable and has a really nice GUI (looks like
windows) so that people can easily migrate from the Windows to Linux
without having to completly learn everything all over again.

This is a non-profit org, so really just randomly buying 20 or so
copies of Windows is not really the likeable or easy option.
