Hmm, well, I still think, although some people would disagree on that,
that Linux _is_ a ServerOS, so if you expect Clickie-clickie, you'll be
wrong with Linux.

The best combination is an X-Server for Windoze to use all
GUI-applications from my Linuxbox _within_ my Windowsbox (or vmware, if
you have enought Memory and only one computer).

Are you using Mandrake? As it was mentioned before, it's easy to
install, but that's it.

And I must say, the U*ix commandline is a very powerful and easy to use
inmterface ;)
