<< Compare the installation process for any single-disc Linux distro with Windows
XP and you'll get a working desktop much quicker and (in my opinion) more easily.>>
as Ben, and Gem, can probably testifie, i have been looking at installing linux for a while, however despite trying to get a working linux box, my server still runs 2003 server (upgraded from 2000 profesianal) i have tryed Debian, and FDC2 on it, however Windows has always been easer to set up, because it just works,
my laptop dual boots XP Pro and Suse, hwever i will replace susi with something else soon,
and my test box, has been running open BSD but i am looking to change that,
When i can find a linux distro that "just works" i may get shot of my windows usage, but untill i find a just works solution, i will have to continue using windows
