I'm with you on that one. My first stab at Linux was in '99 when I
bought an official boxed set of RH6.0, which was supposed to include
"installation support". Stuff wasn't nearly as automatic then as it is
now. (Pre-CUPS) printing was a pain, network was a pain, dial-up was
worrisome and even X-Window was iffy. I called, your phone-droid
answered and I soon decided that if RH6.0 was gonna be a reality, I
would be doing it myself.
Since CentOS, this mailing list has been amazingly helpful, often
astonishingly quick with a right-on answer.
And, to RedHat's credit, simple networks now "just happen", printing is
a breeze and I'm even tempted to allow this thing to boot directly into
run level 5.
