there absolutely is no "right" answer for that question... but i have found Mandrake as the easiest to use... but that could be just me

linus sucks.. the installiation is lousy.. the start up is screwed up, the interface is a mess and worst of all its niot organised.. u need to navigate in a extremely annoying interface which got to alphabatical identification for hard disk partitions instead u have to go by /root, etc etc etc

and worst of all KDE sucks..!!

But you have to understand the Linux started off as a programmer's OS..  It was made by Linus, originally, for himslef based on UNIX (not the most pleasant OS to work with lol).  And then it snowball rolled from there ;)

It may not seem all that user friendly because, esthetics were secondary to function.. Linux crashes a LOT LESS than most other OS's and is a perfect server OS.. Everyday home use for Linux is a relatively new concept.

don't dis linux. I think watching the boot process is pretty cool . KDE Looks simalar to a mac os/10 interface. All that root stuff just takes some getting used to, it's extremely powerful. The permissions are what are a pain in the ass.
