For a n00b you write a lot of stuff that requires excessive througly deep Linux knowledge:

I write about what I know - windows and web design. Just because I can use windows, that doesn't mean I'm not a n00b on a new system. If you had never used RISC OS or Amiga OS before and I handed it to you, you wouldn't have a starting clue how to use it. Although that's harsh on RISC OS and Amiga because they're actually easy to use.
Trying to install a friggin app on Linux, or worse - a driver, was so hard to guess work, I couldn't do it; not even common sense and wild guessing would work :/

Up until recently, I had never used Linux before. I am linux n00b incarnate. Under good instruction I was told that Suse was an easy distribution.
Thanks to suse, I hate KDE with a passion. From a n00b standpoint it is an abomination of creature feapism. It's amazing that I even bothered to try Ubuntu later on after being totally turned off of Linux.
Ubuntu isn't anal retentive, but at the same time it doesn't really offer all that much more than I have and am comfortable with, with WindowsXP.
