This is why I recommend to newbies that the best distro to start with is 
one that installs cleanly for their system.  I had trouble with Ubuntu 
on my laptop.
But over the years I have heard people have trouble with all the common 
versions, and yet I have a friend who swears by how easy slackware is to 
install( He workw at Symantec and doesn't
come to the Euglug meetings yet).
