Is Windows or Linux easier to install? (LinuxWorld.com)
Joe Barr writes
about his experience installing both Red Hat 7.3 and Windows 2000 on
a laptop. "My goal was to install each OS, get Internet
connectivity via a Netgear PCMCIA NIC working, make each OS recognize a
USB IBM PC Camera, and apply the latest security and bug fixes to the OS
and default applications. Since Microsoft has been in the operating
system business for exactly 21 years (DOS 1 debuted August 12, 1981), and
employs 50,000 souls, I expected Windows 2000's installation would be
seamless, fast, and lightyears ahead of upstart Red Hat's by any measure
I could concoct. It turns out the Windows 2000 Pro installation is
superior to Linux, but in two dubious categories."
