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.

You failed to mention, that when you inserted the RedHat CD, it asked you to do a verification check on your CDs, which I'm sure you just blindly ignored and skipped. Then when one of your CDs had problems reading open office, you ignorantly blamed Redhat instead of your bad CDs. I am an experienced user, and I know from experience that you should always check your CDs before installing. Here is something you can think about. Back when I upgraded to Redhat 8.0, I myself skipped the CD check, and one of my CDs was bad 1/2 way through the install process. Fortunately, I was able to reboot back into my 1/2 redhat 7.3 - 1/2 redhat 8.0 system and reburn my bad CD. Try rebooting Windows after the install fails 1/2 through the install when upgrading to XP from 2k, your system would be hosed!
