No, literally, one man's opinion. OK so the way to get someone to move from Windows or Mac OS is to saddle them with an OS that is difficult for seasoned Linux users to set up. I just cannot in good conscience concur. You will be MUCH better off with Ubuntu, Mint, or PCLinuxOS. I use Mint for my laptop, Ubuntu for my desktop, and CentOS for all of my servers. Mint gets the majority of my use because IT JUST WORKS. It does not prevent me from doing anything such as learning the command line but at the same time does not FORCE me into using other than GUI tools to do what I need. If you don't like green, it is simple enough to change your desktop.
