try to resist the temptation - i'm serious here, one of the strengths of FOSS is the bewildering variety of choice available. It also puts off the newbie who is accustomed to no choice at all.

I have seen several cases where the unfortunate guy is desperately trying to install distro after distro in the search of the perfect distro (which doesnt exist) and has no time to learn the fundamentals of linux admin and use and becomes 'lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different'
