When all of your hardware is supported linux can install as easy as 
Win95, WinNT, or OS/2. But it has a shorter compatibility list.

: 1) You make two disks...
: 2) Then run the setup program...
: 3) Install it (30 Mins on quick mode)
: 4) Reboot computer and enjoy!

True, but then configure X. Add some user accounts. Edit etc/fstab so you
can access the floppy drive ... 

These things are more difficult under linux due to its UNIX heritage.
