Yeah, no clear cut answer here. You might have a look at
http://www.distrowatch.com/ more information on what is out there.

Well, just because it looks like MS doesn't mean it has the same design
flaws. ReadHat tends to make things easier on the user by creating more
GUIs to administer things as does Mandrake.

Debian tends to be less GUI and more simplistic in its admin tools. This
might be why you get that impression.

Unfortuantly, that is one question you need to figure out for your self.
You'll find versions of Linux that are all point-and-click, Lindows to
DIY, Linux From Scratch. The best being you have choice.

Bluefish is good.
