My father was trying out Linux, and having bought into the
premise that Red Hat is easier for newbies, I suggested RH to
him. God, what a mistake. He ran into the same types of problems
I did (setting up modem, sound card, etc), but because he was
using RH and not Debian I couldn't directly help him on some of
these problems. The RH propaganda about them being easier to
setup and use is plain BS. Whether the setup is easy or not
depends entirely on the hardware the newbie's computer has.
