I'm just a dabbler rather than a serious user, but I found running under
VMWare a very painless way of getting familiar with the system without going
through the installation troubles that some people have. Having played
around for a while, I took the plunge and installed on a real machine - the
instructions on the Wiki are straightforward to follow, and I was lucky
enough to have just about no problems except a slight hiccup configuring the
screen resolution. (As a bonus, the installation found a 1GB partition I
never knew I had. Thanks guys.)
