#linux users, what do you think is the most intimidating or confusing part of someone first getting into Linux?

Where do you see people get stuck or dissuaded?

1- Installing it is difficult and scary
2- You can't just "install Linux" - there are choices to be made (distro, SE) that you don't even know how to make
3- It's harder to find the software you're used to, and know how to install it
1- and 2- can be mitigated by using LiveCD to try things, installing it on that old computer that we all have lying around, and just going with default Ubuntu. 3- takes a lot of getting used to.
