Microsoft Must be held accountable.

[Anton Markov]

I did just that.  I had one of the most computer illiterate person in 
the class to install the Redhat system (I only interfered to explain 
some options so they didn't have to read the manual to make it faster; 
we only had a 75min class), and the teacher installed WinXP.

The Redhat installation turned out to be much easier even though it had 
more options (I of course mentioned that Redhat come with a lot more 
software than Windows), because the WinXP installation would not start 
right off the disk.  We had to start the installation from Windows.

My classmates also said they liked the graphics in Redhat better. :)

Ah, yes.  Another dozen people have now seen the light! :)
