Why poo-poo a good suggestion like this? There's no reason to make things hard for oneself when learning, by using a little-known, not-so-widely-spread system. Note the 'when learning', once GUIs are understood in general, then one can apply the knowledge to others to try them out.

There's nothing quite as frustrating as sitting in front of the computer, with inadequate documentation, and no other help in reach, when one is learning something new. (Peopleo may boo me, but its the reason I would reccommend Windows to anyone completely new to computers who wants to get started, its just a lot easier to find people who know at least something about it next door, at the pub, at school, whereever. Unless one is in an environment (like school/uni) where there are large amounts of people knowledgable about linux/mac/whatever else)..

waffle.. waffle..

If I'd have thought some before posting, I might not have bothered posting this.. Maybe if you had too..
