Re: [OSS] Linux for wimps ;-)

The common belief that Linux is difficult to install is being perpetuated
by word of mouth - not practical experience. The latest version of
Mandrake (for example) is much, much simpler and faster to install than it
was with the earlier versions. I just installed SimplyMepis and was amazed
at how nicely everything went. It is time to start changing the word of
mouth from how hard Linux is to install, to how easy and nicely many
distributions install.
