During the majority of my time working with computers, Windows was the operating system of choice. Reason being, it's all I've known. In 2002, I took a college course titled "Linux Administration" which entitled me to a few cd-roms of Redhat 7.x. While this course was nothing more than a few extra credits for me, I fell in love with Linux and went through the entire textbook a week into the class. It was a nice feeling to use something "different" than what I was used to.

"on the topic of RPMs... you either love it or hate it to the core. "
Honestly, I don't think I've ever met anyone who "loves" RPMs ;-)
I have to agree with the above poster, go get yourself a Knoppix CD, choose to install it to your HD from the KMenu, and free yourself from the very worst part of Linux: RPM Dependency Hell.
True Debian apt-get is the way forward (not these half-assed rpm-apt thingamabobs in the RPM distros).
my 2 cents...
