I will take a stab and say it is because they are first-time Linux
users. I know RH9 was the first Linux I used. It was here at the office
(someone had the CDs, so I made a copy). Then later, I learned about
CentOS and other flavors. Of course, Fedora wasn't around when I started
but you get the idea.
