Ehh. Linux distros have their own issues outside of GUI that makes
it pretty rough on normal people.
Well, are you still required/expected to recompile the kernel to match
your hardware configuration, or does it finally adjust to your
hardware at bootup / configuration time? Does it auto-detect hardware
plugged in, and setup drivers automatically, or do you have to run a
config program to scan the buses and reconfigure drivers?
You two should have a look at Linux LiveCDs, e.g. Ubuntu. Download a
copy, burn it to CD/DVD, put the thing into the drive, reboot and
you're up. No typing, no manual configuration, no headaches.
LiveCDs automatically detect and use swap partitions on available
hard disks, give you a fully functional user account, give access to
network and all hardware and even allow installation of additional
packages without touching the hard disk.
It's amazing, far ahead of Mac OS X. If you do the few additional
steps of putting the distribution ISO onto an USB stick, it's even fast.
For sustained usage, installation to a disk is recommended, of
course. :-)
