Its a date. I would scare how fast i would have linux up and running for
you. :)

This is only because a year ago, when i tried RH5.2, it took ten days to
install, and a week to get X running. 6.0 took a day to have the whole
system up. 6.2 took four hours. 7.0 took fourty-five minutes. And no, its
not my cdroms, busses, and processors that are speeding up, its the
software, ease-of-use, and (most of all) my personal knowledge-base.

And anyways my claim that "free is better" never said anything about "free
is easier". hahaha... Think of it like your little obscure programming
club. We wouldn't want *anyone* to be able to install it, because then it
wouldn't be an obscure obtuse difficult-to-join-yet-fun-once-your-in club!
