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.

its been said before and it will be said again, go take a look at autopacakge. its a system for installing user software in linux distros that works more or less like the setup files for windows.
personaly i like the idea of rpms, it makes it easy to see what is what and to upgrade parts of the distro. its years above what windows update does. its even easyer to create a update cd for a distro as you can park the updated rpms on a cd and then tell the distro do do a update from them when your done installing (rpm uvh *).
