I know that is the general perception, but I would have to disagree.  I have 
tried Mandrake, SuSE, Red Hat and Slackware (in that order).  I found 
Slackware to be the most user-friendly of all of them.  Oh, I used FreeBSD in 
between RH and Slack and I still use it from time to time.  I put FBSD up 
there with Slack in terms of ease of use as well.  Though, I suppose SuSE and 
company are easier if you get a 100% clean install (which I have never had on 
any distro) and you don't plan on doing any kind of customizing. So, maybe I 
do agree just a bit.
