I was blown away by how fast and easy it is to install a fully graphical
and networkable install of RH 5.0 compared to NT. All you need is to be a
little prepared. I've lost 2 harddrives in the last month (because they
were older spares from work, I finally bought my own new drive) and I
installed Linux first both times because it is waaaaaaaaaay faster to get
back up and running from total scratch with Linux than Windows NT or 95.
