On the other hand, if you're familiar with Windows installation where the media doesn't want to read in your hardware, the CD/DVD drive runs dead slow outside of the Windows environment, the installation takes hours instead of minutes, there's no real indication of what's going on behind the scenes for you to try and work around a showstopper, you have no drivers for some unidentifiable hardware, you appreciate how Linux gives you a plethora of options, and that at least several of them should work for you. I have had some grief while installing Linux, but I've had a hell of a lot of agony while installing Windows. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
