First, a little background. I am a Windows user who has been using Windows since 3.1. I am not a programmer or a developer, I am a user. I process photos, use the internet, e-mail, write letters, play the ever important games and even use it to develop my comic strips. I am not computer illiterate and I use my computer with confidence and skill. Now with that said. I hate Windows.

Someone early on asked what distribution he was asking what distribution he could be using that made him mount cdrom, floppy and windows hard drives. The truth is some, even "newbie" ones required it as little as a year ago. I used to use mandrake 8.1, and it required me to mount everything manually, when I got tired of that I dug around a little and set up desktop shortcuts myself.
Of course this is an example of how mandrake, a newbie distro, can be hard to use. Which is a point someone else made. It also didn't integrate wine or the zip program properly. Meaning I had to open the zip program then open the file. And no windows applications ran. Which is why I'm looking to try a new distro (most likely suse, 'cause I've tried debian and the install was a little tougher then it should be).
