... as opposed to Windows which can be installed by anyone including illiterate Grandmas in third world countries. I don't know of any OS installation that is not better left to those who know what they're doing. If you're taking about ease-of-use or availability of applications, it's astounding what can be found in the Ubuntu Universe. |

Quoting:I don't know of any OS installation that is not better left to those who know what they're doing. Exactly right... But even given that, at least Mepis, Kanotix, and PCLOS are much 'less' hassle than Windows (any version) to install. Ubuntu, and even Debian require about the same level of expertise. I simply don't know where this belief that Windows is easy to install came from? |

"I simply don't know where this belief that Windows is easy to install came from?" I don't think it is that as much as the fact that, for most users, Windows does not require installation. Using the version of Windows that comes pre-installed on the computer is easier than installing Linux. As long as MS manages to get Windows pre-installed on 99% of new computers Linux will never gain more than a small market penetration. Also, if you do need to install Windows, it is a whole lot easier to find someone to help or do it for you. |
