Absolute GARBAGE! What planet are you on? Setting up something like, for
example, Kubuntu on a common PC is easier and much faster than WINDOWS!

Kubuntu, Ubuntu, PCLinuxOS, OpenSuse 10.2, SLED, ALL worked immediately
right out of the box.......nothing to do whatsoever. Other than set up my
network printer which was a doddle compared to XP.....

First, setting up Linux really depeands on two things:
1: Do you know what you are doing? (Most people do not.)
2: Which distribution are you using? Some have automations in places where
others do not.
From my experience, getting Linux installed and working isn't too difficult
for standard devices (mouse, display,etc.).
It's when you have something strange and esoteric, like a thumb identifier
from Cambodia - there you may have problems.
As long as you can install (and use) basic peripherals like printers, then
setting up Linux is always a smart thing to do, if you need to use a
Unix-type system. For people who only need their computer for basic tasks
like checking bills, filing recipes, or downloading porn, Linux is a waste
of time.
For people like me who like to do program development, Linux is a godsend.

All the mainstream ones aimed at newly converted Windows users, ie
(K)Ubuntu, PCLinuxOS, OpenSuse, Fedora Core (AFAIK) , Knopix and Mepis for
example, do.
Mostly, there's nothing TO do - they just, err, work!
True. Probably that's what most anti-Linux Wintrolls are using....

Now set up filesharing and get a Windows box to be able to access and
modify shares on a Linux box.
Next, get a Wifi adapter and try get that working.
Finally, get a 3D Graphics card with TV out and get both the 3D and TV-
out working.
