I'm not an expert, I start to use linux, basically opensuse, in 2000, 
and I agree with thomas, my son, my sister, my nephews uses linux, but, 
if I didn't install it and configure it and solved the problems that 
rised up and sometimes continues to pop up, they never started to use 
linux. too complicate... :-)
