The first distro I tried was Slack 1.something, quite difficult to install
indeed : ) 
Got stuck with Slack since then, tried out a few other distros, R H, SuSe,
Debian and Mandrake but that was just for fun, since the only thing I used
linux for was servers and mostly is still even though I have 4 workstations
in the house 2 Slack 10, 1 slack 9.1, one RH 8 and one laptop with RH 7.

I agree to that sometimes installation is a problem for people with little
or no experience in partitioning and so fort, but even that is going away
in newer distros so they in fact becoes easier to install than M$ systems.

Problems will come with what ever OS you choose. I've been aroound for some
time and seen the most of the modern systems and I say that there is very
small problems with Linux concerning installation and security matters
compared to NT, W2k and XP. if people really start thinking of what is
happening when installing a system they will find that they never really
know anything when installing a M$ system, but they have to think a bit
when installing a Linux system. That way they learn more : )
