I tried red hat in 2002. The experience was very uncomfortable and I quickly went back to windows. I tried linux again in 2008 and everything was great and i moved onto it immediately. Also installed it for my mom... What happened? Debian apt-get and Ubuntu.

Some user-friendly distributions at the time had apt-get, such as Corel Linux. Some other distributions, such as Caldera OpenLinux and SUSE were of a very good quality. At that time, you could install Linux on most computers without much effort. During that hype, I helped installing Linux a lot on friend and family's machines. The primary problem were Winmodems and some printers. These days we have Wifi, fan control, and such instead ;).
