You'd be surprised ;-) It took less time than installing Win95 on a friends
box, and the S3-based video acclerator works far better with XFree86 than
with Win95.

Its certainly a bit harder than the usual Mac setup; OTOH, I didn't have to
hunt down problems with Eudora/PPP/OpenTransport and I certainly didn't have
any problems printing.
