Surely an oxymoron? I'm trying hard, really hard, but I've yet to install any software as easily as on XP...oh, apart from Mozilla.
Now considering that Mozilla installs exactly the same way as every other package in MDK, I'm starting to wonder what problem you are having with everything else.
Are you using urpmi or the GUI equivalents called Mandrake Update, Install Software and so on? Because if you are then, like Joe, you'll find that installing software is just as easy, easier in fact, than installing most software in XP and dealing with at least 3 installation packages, often unresolved dependancies that cause XP to hiccup or complain.
Oh well..troll away if you must, Owain.
A while ago I rebooted into Windows and installed a game. It shows how long it's been since I've used Windows that when the message came up to exit all Windows programs, I was going "Huh? Why?"
Then of course, there is the fun of uninstalling Windows software. Hmm, editing the registry to get rid of crap left by botched uninstalls - now _that's_ what I call user-friendly! ;-)
