Debian and its clones We have all heard the horror stories of how GNU/Linux is difficult, if not almost impossible, as far as general desktop usability is concerned. In particular, there seems to be a continuous stream of gripes printed across the Internet, from Microsoft Windows users who wish, or have tried, to migrate to GNU/Linux, yet gave up in frustration. But what happens when complete computer newbies are introduced to GNU/Linux? By computer newbies, I am referring to those who have no computer experience whatsoever, in either a Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix or other environment.

Linux_baby, the article *was* pretty useless. A newbie installing a fresh copy of Windows will have a much better time installing a fresh copy of Debian (sadly). Compare the installers. I don't think you can disagree.
