probably others have already answered your question.<br>
I am a PCLinuxOS user, converted about 3 months ago from windows, probably similar to you in terms of windows knowledge.<br>
<br>
If I can help at all am happy to assist from a newbie point of view.<br>
Is the PCLinuxOS Gnome or KDE version?<br>
<br>
