depending on
how you define "newbie".
if you define as newbie, someone who just has met his first pc....well
you are absolutely right.
but if you call a newbie, someone who knows well, how to cope with
windooze, and just migrates....you are wrong....tottally wrong.
i know enough people migrating from windows to gentoo, and none had any
problems, actually they loved it.
This is what I mean: People will get very emotional about distros. There
will be no consensus. A comparison matrix (no matter what it looks like)
will not be accepted by all readers on this list. It's like a religion ;-)
Take any distro you like ;---)))))) Or try them all. Last but not least:
only take the distro *I* recommend ;-) People only recommend their favorite distro.... Sadly
but true. Maybe I
am no exception.
depends.
if the user just wants a running system and doesn't want to cope with it more
in detail, i wouldn't recommend gentoo.
i would rather go for mandr, lindows, whatever.
