You know, I have been runing linux for about 3 years. I have installed a number of times (as I get bored and re-install everything from time to time). And it has always been quite simple. I have tried various versions and never found it tough to install. I really don't get what people are talking about. If you want choices taken from you go Caldera. But (most) every distribution has an install that works on a great number of computers without any fuss or muss. In fact, I have had much **LESS** trouble with linux installation then with winblows. The screens traditionally weren't as flashy. But that isn't the case with a Red Hat X based install. And MAndrake has had the flashy down for a long time. Of course I supose someone could do a macroslop and remove all options on what to install as they did for winblows 2000. Would that make it easier? ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net The mind is like a parachute; it works much better when open. If you're too open minded, your brains will fall out.
