I've only been using Linux for about a year, I used it for 8 months straight without Windows even on my hard disc, and that was great.
Slackware was really easy to install for me, and I'd never tackled an installer like that before, so it surprised me.
Kintaro is not being childish, it is right to say that average Linux users learn much more about computers than the average Windows user.
I think Slackware isn't that hard at all, apart from getting X started up it's fine, Gentoo would be more of a tackle, though.
My dad introduced me to Red Hat 9, and when I first used it, it was amazing, I was so amazed by the amount of things that Linux could do that Windows couldn't (and the speed of it, also).
That's why I now use Slackware, because I like to use a wide range of distributions, before choosing whichever one I am most comfortable with.
I am thinking of installing SuSE 9.3, just to evaluate it, because it looks very nice, my dad bought it a while back. :thumbup:
