I have to agree with this (Score 1)

I have been using Mandrake 8.0 for about six monthes now (first Linux install) and I have not needed to go to the command line for anything. I am not a particularly great computer person, but other than learning the whole mount unmount floppy disk disaster (what dya mean I can't just put the disk in the drive?). The transition from windows has been pretty smooth. Using gnome the menus are all in the same place (almost) as they were with windows, useing star office is almost exactly the same as using MSOffice, the Gimp does my phot editing easier than photoshop ever did.
Abd contrary toevery thing I have heard every thing just worked straight out of the box with less fuss than trying to get it to work on my hideously boken windows partition.

Ok now I will go back in my corner and shut up
