Gentleman:

All the rants and the flames in the world will not change the fact that 
to move users over they need a web experience that is predictable and 
easy to use.  I burned Mandrake's 8.2 off my Red Hat 7.2 box  distro to 
test the end user experience.  This disto is easy is load and has all 
the toys like multimedia.....newer kernel etc..  The Mozilla has all the 
plugins to work all the MS$ sites as far as I have tested it last night. 
 It also has Konqueror for the KDE crowd and Galeon browsers.  It is  
Linux for newbies.... and more...
