He compared the installation of borg 98 and Redhat Linux. On balance they have similar ease or difficulty of installation. But if you have older hardware, Linux rules. Was the article referring to an average user's attempt to setup both systems? I don't know how someone could claim that RedHat is as easy (or easier) to install than Borg98. Do they expect that the "average Joe" will know what a swap partition is, and how to create it using Disk Druid or FDisk? And how to set up plug 'n pray sound cards? I still haven't gotten my roommie's plug 'n pray sound card setup, and it is even on the list of "supported" cards. Don't get me wrong, I love Linux. But I believe it is wrong to claim that it is as easy as Borg98 to setup. BWDIK, Justin
