"Linux is ... a complex PITA to install"
Speaking of myths; this is a big one. I would argue that linux is easier, at least RedHat 9. Perhaps the partitioning stuff throws some folks but if you select the defaults, it is relatively brainless. As for advantages, as opposed to windows, you select all the options at the beginning of the installation not after waiting 30 minutes for the files to be copied.
Someone really ought perform a more in-depth comparision of the two installations. I would find it difficult to believe that anyone would conclude linux's installation is a PITA compared to a windows install.
