Not contradicting you. I'm just sayin'.

It's definitely a bit of a learning curb for newcomers, yes. I think most newcomers tend to play around with Ubuntu. My favorite has been Fedora. I'm fixing up my old Dell computer (hard drive went bye bye) and will probably just put the latest distro of Fedora on it. I still have a new Dell with Windows 7 on it that I have connected to my big screen in the living room, and my old laptop with Windows XP. Have never crossed into the MAC world even though I do know enough about MAC to troubleshoot minor glitches.
But getting back to the network issue, my fiancee uses her macbook at work (most all of them use macs) and they have had several issues with connecting to their file server at work.
