Any distro is not a good choice, it's actually no
choice at all.
please elaborate...
If a newbie chooses Gentoo, I am sure he will be lost.
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.
