I agree that Linux can sometimes be difficult to set up correctly. I would like to add a couple of comments though. Firstly, how easy do you think it would be for a total newbie to setup windows correctly - starting from nothing and no knowledge of what to expect as the end result or the pitfalls.
Exactly!!!! What I would like to do is to take someone who moans a lot about how it is difficult for a computer novice to install Linux and give them a machine on which I have already installed Linux. Just Linux in a single partition which fills the HD. Then give them a Windows 98 CDROM and tell then to go ahead and install Windows. Remind them that the machine must be able to boot both Windows and Linux when they have finished . . . . . . . You might throw in a copy of Partition Magic too . . . -- Phillip Deackes Using Storm Linux
