There seem to be many reviews on Red Hat 9.0, but all seem to be written by Linux junkies who really know their stuff. What about the MS Windows Convert? They say people like the first thing they use (i.e. if you learn to drive a manual transmission, you prefer it over automatic). If this is true, how does Red Hat 9.0 introduce a novice pc user to the world of computers? I hope to answer some of those questions in this tiny review.

"Perhaps I'm giving Linux a somewhat unfair review..."
Thats a accurate statement because you where reviewing Red Hat, not Linux.
I'd be interested to see how you faired with a distribution geared more specifically for desktop users, like Mandrake. While its not perfect (I don't believe any Linux distro is, yet) I've never had any of the troubles you mentioned in this article and on more then one occasion I've been a little taken by surprize by just how good some of it works.
New users shouldn't install Red Hat any more then they should have installed Windows NT.
