Thank you but I'm not (maybe I am a nerd but that doesn't help). Seriously the install is easier than windows. Well maybe not if you plan to duel boot with windows but a clean install is easy.

IMHO, installing Linux, even dual-booting with Windows, is quite easy. Personally, my biggest problem is getting all the hardware to work correctly, especially if you have a new computer. I haven't tried Linux in over a year, but back then, getting it working on a laptop was a total pain, due to having to spend lots of time finding and testing drivers for things like video card, CD drive, fiddling around with stuff to get power management functions etc.

Right now, I have a Centrino laptop with Wi-Fi, a DVD writer combo drive, and a 64 meg video card. I can just imagine how much time I will have to spend to get everything working, time that I'd rather spend playing games. Go windows!
