Slackware runs perfectly out of the box...Or rather, CD. Pop it in, follow the simple menus, the only part that could be hard at all for a newbie is setting up LILO/networking, and anyway the default choices usually work fine. I was able to install it back when I knew absolutely nothing about *nix at all. I didn't even know what ls did at the time, and I managed alright. So I can't see how you justify it "being thought by many as a distribution oriented to servers and experienced users."
