I'm a windows user by nature, I've been playing around with Linux for a little while, I'm no Expert in any way but I've used quite a few distro's. The first distro I ever stuck with for any amount of time Was Xandros 1.0, which a friend provided for me. Except for the fact that it ran an old version of KDE it was perfect for me, but the old KDE crippled my work. Enter Xandros 2.0.

if you guys noticed, i was replying to a now moderated down comment.
in response to Anonymous (IP: ---.chvlva.adelphia.net):
i don;t know about you, but i always had to install drivers after a new install of win95, reboot 10 times, and always had to set up networking via the network properties dialog.
even until this day, to get a working windows system with XP takes over 3 hours, yup, 3 hours. i do it all the time.
from the time of OS install ~ 30min - 1 hour, to driver installs, ~ 1 hour, to software installs (office, winrar, photoshop, etc...) ~ 1-2 hours more.
to get to the same point in a typical modern day linux distro takes about 30 minutes to an hour.
i still use windows, and i use linux, but from my experience windows takes longer to install from scratch.
and about USB support, the comment i was replying to said that xandros was years behind win95, which is what i was debating.
