Gasp! You liar! <grin>

I am of the opinion that if two equally clever people were given access to two computers where neither of them have ever used a computer before, one given a computer installed with a Desktop orientated Linux distribution, and the other a Windows computer, then the one given access to the Linux computer would arguably be working efficiently in a shorter space of time.

I wonder whether it would be possible to conduct a study somewhere to test this...

In any case to the OP: Try Ubuntu Linux, if for no other reason than because it is popular. Its being popular means that you get easy access to a large base of software / programs and a huge community of people whom you can fall back on in case you get stuck.
