There are a lot of people installing Apple's Tiger this week. Seems to
me that BSD is easier to install than Linux now. I guess you could say

Even a good number of Linux people want that. I do. Which is why I'm
very happy with Ubuntu. It lets me keep Debian around (so I don't have
to re-package all that software I have), lets me continue to be a free
software zelot (as opposed to just another anti-microsoft luser) but is
as close to drop-dead easy as free (libre) Linux lets you get.
