I notice that no one ever mentions Corel as a newbie distro....I'm
surrounded by RH folks, and I work on RH boxen at work, but it's always been
confusing to me.  Now that I'm running linux on my normal workbox, I opted
to go with Corel because it seemed to be particularly user-friendly,
installs like a dream, and is Debian based, so that it *seems* to me that
when I outgrow Corel, shifting to straight Debian shouldn't be a drastic
move, perceptually.

Then again, I admit up front to being fairly clueless. <g>
