Found me answer.
Only with AF-S or I lenses.

It can autofocus with all AF-S lenses. All new Nikon lenses are usually AF-S 
While other more expensive Nikons focus with non af-s lenses... would you really want to use those lenses with a digital camera anyway? Non af-s lenses are usually older models.

YES he would like to use those old lenses with a digital camera ;o) The new 50mm af-s helps though!

Personally I would go for AF-s, usually offering quieter and quicker focus. And as they're newer, optics built with digital cameras in mind.
Personally, I would go for lenses designed for your camera (so the newer ones for digital cameras, and the older ones for film). Jmo.

But if you could afford top nodge AF-S glass, would you buy a D60? I think you would get better results with a D80 and some good old primes than D60 and the cheapest AF-S lenses.

There are some great AF-s lenses that are highly respected in the 'budget' range too
The kit lens is just awesome for the price (18-55), then you have the 55-200 vr which is also highly respected. Or the 18-200. Now you have a 50mm af-s, bit more expensive but still affordable. I think that covers most of what people new to DSLRs would want
