I didn't say it wasn't easy to use.. I said it was harder to setup (ie hardware changes and driver issues that are more manual), but MUCH more imporantly.. WAAAAAAAAY easer to screw up and BLOW AWAY.

Its link ying and yang.... on the positive side LINUX gives you much more control to optamize and lock things down... on the negative side LINUX gives you much more control to blow away your sysem and REALLY screw things up.

I'm just saying that just beause LINUX builds operate better does not automatically mean it is the better choice... actually I'm saying its a worse choice for the majority of currently (tech-retarded) public.

Ahh. OK. However (with respect to your opinion), I have set up Linux on weird hardware with no more than hitting enter for the default choices during the install, and it detected and setup everything on the box. Plus it was a tad quicker on the install than Windows was--on the same box.
