it depends what you mean as easy.. i found it is the easiest distrubution
to install, and i had it installed with minimal hassles, it's installing
extra software that you'll have trouble with (as i did, and still do).. i
have only been using linux for about a year, but i have not been successful
in getting the modem to work, so i rarely use it. (ps: im only 15 :)
