yes, the installation is (very) hard, particularly for beginners,
debian always still the best choose for a server at small-offices.
I particularly advise beginners, to use RedHat, always still the best
choose. At least you cannot rate a linux-disp. for the time, which you
need for the installation. Questionable is it anyway, why someone tries
something else, if his high-praised disp. is good.
It depends everything of the 'installer', what he/she is able to
do, for some people is it importend to have a colorful, easy installation
for the other is security the choose.
But 4 Days for a installation, sound nice. We made a test, my Wife
installed a linux ( Corel ) she knows nothing about linux, she finished
after 15 min. Now Corel is much more 'better' than SuSe ?
