Lindows IIRC uses the stability of Linux with the user-friendly windows. Never used it, but thats what ive heard.

Re: noob looking to use linux..any kind!!!!
Well..... it depends on what you are going to do..... if it is for desktop: Mandrake4, XandrOS or Lindows (being Mandrake the easiest one to get used to.... at least for me) if it is for servers, just go with RedHat or SuSe if you are a daredevil, want to become a linux expert, and don't mind reinstalling and reinstalling, go with Slackware
