I am not an admin, just an average home user. I started using Linux years ago and I still use a dual boot system (MS & GNU Linux).
I started out using Red Hat 5.1 up to....(Fedora), Liked it.
Tried SuSe(a few times), liked it.
Tried Mandrake(a few times), liked it.
Tried Debian (a few times), liked it.
Tried Ubuntu (a few times), liked it.
Tried BSD, missed Linux.
Tried Solaris, missed Linux.
Tried Mandriva, not impressed.
Currently use Freespire, like it but, will probably go back to Ubuntu, or Kubuntu.
I installed Mandrake on my 78 year old Mothers computer 3 years ago and she will not boot to MS ever (her choice). I got tired of viruses and she did also. Installs are now easy and Linux detects most hardware. It's nice to use a computer instead of fixing it.

I agree. I was a Mandrake usr for years, but the last distro left a bad taste. Freespire does much more, with less effort. Give it a go.
It should only take about an hour or less for someone to hack IE.
Tits on a squid is classic and I will use it. As a **nix** usr, I agree with you.
