Hello there, I am a Newbie

Newsforge reader Sensei sent this link: “I am retired. So I do have time – if not inexhaustible funds. I have been trying to successfully install and use Linux since the first “User friendly” attempts were made. I have a lot of USER experience. I have fought with USER levels of Concurrent DOS, MSDOS, Unix and every iteration of Windows. As of this morning, I have not been able to *ever* successfully install a USEABLE Linux system. Latest attempts being Mandrake 7.2 and after great frustration, RedHat 7.0. Which went on like a dream compared to the ” user friendly” M72.”
