Fine with me. Choose a friendly distro that ships with Apt and Synaptic. You still haven't made your case, especially since you indirectly admitted that you HAD NO IDEA THAT APT, SYNAPTIC AND YAST EVEN EXISTED. I find it hard to accept your critiques when you speak from ignorance. You sure haven't presented anything factual upon which to base your arguments.
I've used both Windows and Linux long-term, however, and can tell you that using Synaptic is far easier than finding, downloading, installing, restarting, (then, uninstalling "Shop At Home Select" when you find out you've just downloaded spyware!) etc. that is sometimes necessary with Windows. Just type in your root password and click on what you want. I can't imagine what you think is so hard about that. Are you really that challenged?
If you want to argue that RedHat 9 might be too difficult for Granny, I'd probably agree with you. Heck, that's why I use Mepis. The good part of Linux is you can try just about any OS you want and decide (Right now, I have 4 different OS's running on my computers here and the ones at work).
