I would also pitch in saying that Linux is easier to install than Windows. 
I can make the comparison of Redhat 9.0 and Microsoft Windows 2000, from 
personal experience.

I guess the only way to tell would be to ask two regular computer users
who have about the same experience/knowledge, and get them to install both
operating systems, and then to tell you which OS they thought was easier 
to install.

I am still shuddering from an OpenBSD install. I guess they want to keep 
the weenies out, but get the geeks in on the fun. :o
