It isn't. Full stop. Hopefully what you mean is that it isn't designed specifically for users that are new to Linux. It is a perfectly fine distribution for those wanting to learn Linux, though the learning curve may be a bit steep. Is there any distro designed to train new Linux users? Robert No there is none in my opinion. CentOS Like RHEL is realy a network operating system. Thus, supporting server applications mainly. IMHP, I would recommend a new user to it. Why? Because it is a top notch Enterprise OS on the Desktop and Server. I believe with the right education, teaching and awareness the user has endless options unlike with a Microsoft OS. All of that depends on how the community responds to helping and providing help, which is slowly evolving. Your going to see a lot more "New Users" at the End of Life for Windows XP. I realy do not think people want to fork out 300 - 400 dollars for Vista...........
