I would imagine that it's the same for most people, as long as somebody else is administering the system they are okay.

Installing it isn't the issue, and you should know that. It's getting your hardware to work with it, take (for example) a user (me, who still can't get it working under linux) who has a canon scanner that needs installing under windows, in goes a CD, it autostarts, you follow the prompts and it's working. Are you seriously trying to tell us that it's that simple under linux?

Linux reminds me of that sketch on the Fast Show
"So this is the bus is it? So I get on it do I? So I pay you for the ticket to do I?"
