That's not the job of kernel hackers, that's the job
of each distribution such as Red Hat, Debian, etc.
I'm not familiar with others but Red Hat 5.2 is relatively
easy to install--at least as easy as a new install of
Win95/98.

In any case, these Install Fests are well attended,
very supportive, and very helpful for those who need
special configurations or just a basic install of
Linux on their box.
