I can't provide you with any comparisons; all of my installation
experience has been with RedHat Linux. However, I thought I should give
you a warning. I'm a very technically astute person, and very much a
Linux supporter, and the software is pretty easy to install, but I still
have lots of problems with hardware configuration. Linux is going to
remain a minority operating system until they make hardware
configuration a lot easier.
