What? You're kidding me!
Linux has technical problems and difficulty keeping a large and complex O/S all playing nicely together? Who'da thunk it? ;-)
Of course, they do have a much better excuse for their problems than MS does, since Linux developers aren't all working for the same boss.

I have no love for M$ but Windows 2000 and XP are very easy to install software on. I installed Win 2000 and all necessary drivers on a Dell Latitude c600 today. The hard drive was blank. No problems at all nor with the software I also put on

Sad to say, but I agree with ESR. I have one laptop for serious work with RH9 (which has never given me the slightest problem in the 2-3 years I've had it) and another laptop for fun (USB support, suspend, wireless) which unfortunately requires a reinstall about once-a-month.
I've been using RH since version 5 and have been appalled at Fedora's instability.
It's a bit to early to call the situation hopeless, but it should never have come as far as it has.
