Seems like everyone want to create a userfriendly linux, but the truth is, you can't. Those people havent realized that people can't get far in linux without trying, failing and reading stuff. And the worst thing is that they also have forgotten that you cant get far without ./configure.
This is also true with Windows. If you can't seem to do something correctly the first time, you have to search for answers on the issue. The ./configure command is only useful if you install stuff from source, so it's not particularly useful for binary distros like Red hat/Mandrake/Debian/"any other binary distro you wish to place here".
