I've used many Linux Distrobutions, Mandrake, Redhat, Slasckware, Gentoo, SourceMage, and Suse. Out of all those Debian was the worst for me to install there menu system is just confusing the way they jump from step to the next. I had a terrible time getting it installed just to find out i missed something. Had to go back through it and reinstall. Once I got it finally done and installed I found that mostly everything wasn't what I wanted. Packages seemed a little old.
To me Debian is just not worth it. I choose Mandrake for the easy intsaller and setup. But Gentoo for its great help in their forum, documentation, and choice from the very start.
Ok currently I run windows as my main desktop. Every now and then I use linux and I have always preffered KDE over Gnome. Gnome is just too much of a pain to get what I want done. Where linux needs to change is that 90% of people use GUI's for a reason. there faster to get what you want. linux needs to get more away from this text mode crap. I don't like opening the terminal and having to type 4 commands just to get one app to open. sorry for going off topic.
