[Cialug] Linux Jobs

[Dave Hala Jr]

It's really not as bad as you'd think, the installs are straight forward
now, unless you've got some non-mainstrean (non-name brand) hardware.
Its just different than what you are used to.  I think it was easier for
all us that came from a DOS/Novell background and harder for those that
cut their teeth in a windows environment.

Go back 10-15 years and try and do a BSD install on a early 286 or 386,
that was painful.
