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.

I wish someone would have thier parents, (brother, sister, grandmother, anyone with *no* Linux experience, etc...) install a Linux variant and take notes on the progress without offering assistance. I don't consider this a valid Windows "convert" article, since the author had previous experience with Linux and OSX and didn't mention that he isn't using Windows anymore, which doesn't make him a "convert". I feel that even though the author's experience is minimal, he *did* have previous experience with Linux and therefore probably had a bias towards or away from using Linux.
Hell, if I can talk my mom into installing redhat on her machine, I'll write the article.
