BL is a hacker's distro. For people who are really into learning
linux and computers. Much more so than any mainstream distro.

How could it be otherwise? It was created for old computers, which
vary greatly. And it's _tiny_. 

If you want to be an appliance operator, then run one of the
windoze-wannabee distros (I see that you already do) or windoze
itself.

Or accept the challenge and hang around and you'll get all the
help you want. You will end up creating, effectively, your
own distro. And learning a _lot_.
