Windows is easier to install than Linux

Red Hat and United Linux offers helpdesk support through the telephone.
And the guys at http://www.openopen.org/ and http://www.newtolinux.org.uk/ will never "RTFM" you ;)
Xeen:
As if MS tech support was any better. I've actually dealt with them before. When you call them, first you'll have to spend at least 40 minutes on hold. Then they'll make you give them your name, address, computer information, and Windows serial number. Then if you tell them you're installing Windows non-default enviornent (dual boot, non C partition, on a PC with Linux, etc...) they'll tell you to fuck off because they only provide tech support "recommended setups" (AKA one OS on one PC on the default partition).
Meshuggener:
linuxquestions.org has some pretty friendly people there that have always helped me out. If you ask a question nicely and give enough info for them to go off of, then it doesn't make sense that they'd bitch at you for it. Don't ask stupid questions.
Ron:
M$ has quite an interesting eula ( or whatever they call it). To get tech support you have to allow m$ to do whatever they want to your pc, read whatever they want, and make whatever changes they want. That's ok isn't it?
worker201:
Hate to say it, but Linux isn't really for people who don't know how to read!

But if anyone needs help, just ask. I don't know where JJ has been getting his Linux advice, but it ain't anywhere I have been.
