I tried installing RedHat 7 for the first time a few weeks ago and found a few things that would no doubt give newbies a hard time. The first thing was that when installing as a server x windows did not boot up by default. I was at a loss for a while staring at a command line. It didn't take long to figure things out online.
The next challenge was figuring out what all the packages do. It looked like there was over 1000 different packages to install. Their names didn't really tell me what they did. I don't think a newbie would know what KDE or Gnome are for let alone the rest of them. They need descriptions or something. At least with Windows they tell you what each option is for when you do a custom install. The names of the packages may as well be in Greek since they don't really seem to describe what they do.
