Huh. That's encouraging news. I'm only going by the system I have at work, which is a Debian machine. It is FAR, FAR easier to install/configure new software on it than Windows is, but it was irritating to set the machine up in the first place. Compiling the kernel was a lot of guesswork; fortunately the guys I work with are both sysadminy types.

Anyway, getting Windows set up on my home system was much easier. The procedure was "open box."

I know what you mean, though. If Windows *does* have a problem with a piece of hardware, it can be maddening.
