It installs perfect. All my hardware is set up. All the software I need (or most of it) is on the CDs/repos.
How come people don't complain that Windows doesn't have the software they need? Hell, not even a decent IM client. We get /most/ of it it, if not all (Depending on the user).
Another point is ease of use. Drivers? People say that 'modprobe <drivername>' is difficult. Oh, really? What about all the times I've had to install drivers for my friends, cause Windows XP just wouldn't do it right. Or the number of times I've had to do it for myself. Windows is easy when it comes preinstalled, alright. But there is *no* way to keep the difficulties away from the user. No OS has done this. Not even the legendary OSX.
What I don't get, is people having beef with RPM. I am VERY sure that more than half the people out there that complain about it, have never really used it.
Installing redhat, and trying to install ONE package, and having it fail on you, so you move distros, doesn't qualify you for an opinion. Use your brain, and get apt, or the dependencies.
Personally, I think that at the moment, nothing beats redhat when it comes to desktop linux. For a server, I'd go debian/FreeBSD.
(This comes from a former gentoo, debian, slackware, freebsd user. Oh, and Windows (3.x - Server 2003)
