According to their website it looks just as easy to install as Windows XP, maybe easier.
I have ordered SuSE Linux 8.0 and it's on the way, so I'll give y'all a report on how easy (or hard) it was to install.  It also comes with KDE 3 which looks quite good after looking at some of the screenshots some of you have posted.

If you checked your hardware for linux compatibility there is nothing to worry about. They made the install procedure a lot easier, and it takes a lot less time then installing windows xp.....

And definitely upgrade to KDE 3.0. It's solid and much more pleasing to the eye...

I don't know if Linux is a 100% ready for the desktop yet, meaning that most of the average Windoze users, Microsoft targets at, will find that kind of transition somewhat intimidating.As time goes by though, we'll be seeing more and more user friendly distros starting with the latest SuSE or Mandrake distro.

I don't also find it a bad thing, as many others  think, that Linux is making a move towards the end users as well. Let's not forget that most of us here share a common ambition: to watch M$ go down! And what better way is there to see that happen than aiming at what M$ currently holds and that is the 95% of the desktop market?!

gnomez:
After using the latest version of SuSE Linux I can say with certainty that Linux is ready for the desktop; all it needs is the commercial support.
