I suppose it's all "in the eye of the beholder". I have found Red Hat 
Linux 7.3 to be easier to use, than MS Windows, and, the installation 
can be easier.

If a person just selects "Workstation" or whatever, in the Red Hat 
instal, it is pretty much either as easy as Windows, or easier, from my 
experience.
