A worthy attempt at a flame. In any event, the point remains that you
are comparing apples and oranges: of course a Linux install is trivial
if you've done it many times over, but to claim that, for instance,
Red Hat installations are trouble-free is completely bogus. Red Hat's
in particular have been getting worse with each release. Even Windows
installations aren't much better -- you are completely out of luck if
anything goes wrong. I'd love to see your reaction to the
installation process for some other research systems I've worked on.
