The biggest initial hurdle is the graphics card and, to a lesser extent,
the other hardware.

Fortunately you'll know from just booting the install floppy whether

After that it's generally plain sailing

you can find some installation help in the Wiki

And, of course, the people round here are usually happy to help.  The
community is still small enough that it doesn't get a constant flood of
newbie "help me" mail that just gets RTFM replies 8)
