I suspect when Keef means 'machine code' he means having to drop to a command line and manually edit configuration files using an unintuitive text editor. This is a significant possibility when dealing with Linux and it is not at all intuitive or easy if your only experience with PCs is windows. Windows does all that stuff for you with a mouse click, generally. Another problem is that the supplied help files are generally not much use. If you want decent support it comes from a bulletin board, and quite often the only support you can find out there comes with instructions to do things on the command line.
My advice? Get a live CD and run it, see how you feel
Which is essentially the same as what the "negative ones" said earlier
