A bit more of my opinion - I would say it's a distro that says it's a distro 
for newbies, and other people read that and pass it on.

Also, it endeavors to be 'windowsish' to appeal to M$ Windows users, but it's 
not.  The file system mount points were part of what gave my friend fits.

Better to just work with a good modern Linux distro, instead of one that 
pretends it's Windows.  IMX, Kubuntu does a fine job for newbies, and you 
have that perspective on Man* (<=they keep changing it).

Cheers,
Bret
