This opinion of yours comes from using a GNU/Linux distribution that is 
actually made by (experts) for (experts). Next time you should try to compare 
Mandrake (don't  know about others) to WinXX: the difference between the two 
systems is not so big. Integrated help system, all management task is done 
via GUI (whether it works or not is another issue--like in M$ stuff)... you 
can even disable the login screen, if you want, and have a "default" user 
logged on every boot.

My 2cents, it's not a distro-flame-war,
