I have exactly the same opinion except that NT4 had a few problems and was
probably slightly more difficult than RedHat. Although I am more experienced
in RedHat installs than NT.

I think that the only reason that M$ software is considered easier is that
everyone is used to it. If people knew the same amount about Linux as they
do about M$ then Linux would win hands down.

: Being experienced in both Linux and NT, I'd rate them as follows:

: NT4 - easiest
: Red Hat 4.2 - Not far behind NT
: Slackware 3 - more fiddly than the above and requires more expertise.

: Of the 3, RH is the most functional out of the box.
