I don't know about newbie hostile, but I would say it is definitely a UNIX guru environment.. just trying to download was a frustrating 30 minutes. there was no "*.iso" like 99.999% of the other distros use. Then it took me a while to figure out if it was even going to install/run an X environment. Don't even ask about a LiveCD..:) and I've installed UNIX from 36 floppy disks! -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459
