1: a laptop with openSUSE on it -- so that they can see that it's just as "pointy-clicky" as Windows (and for the more technically minded -- those who used to be accountants, engineers, etc. and, those who are/were avid players of historical war (board)games, show them the command line, and also documentation (the man command), and the wealth of programming languages available, The more technically minded people tend to LOVE the fact that you can actually get the computer to do what they were originally designed for -- AUTOMATING DULL, REPETITIVE, ERROR-PRONE TASKS. My laptop.
2: LIVE DVD (explain that running off the DVD is only a demo mode that runs slower -- due to the nature of DVDs -- and that an installation on the hard disk will literally be about 100x more responsive) A live DVD? That´s easy. I have 4-5 of them here.
3: Offer to set up dual-boot capabilities -- that gives them the EMOTIONAL security of being able to back-out into something familiar (or to play that game that hasn't been ported yet). my laptop:
- openSUSE 11.3
- Windows 7 Home Premium
