Do not use Lindows.

Mandrake is a good newbie system.

The thing is, if you want to use Linux like Windows (like...without having to learn anything and having the OS do everything for you), you won't be doing much. You'll have to do a lot of learning (Google becomes your best friend) to do much. Fortunately, for most problems you run into, someone else has run into the same problem with the same OS on another message board and someone else has supplied them with an answer. So yeah. Learn to love Google.
