Comparing windows and Linux installations

“The computer hardware is an ASUS Vento case (not the cool one
which looks like a computer Ferrari, just a standard black box)
with an Intel Desktop motherboard inside. Onboard graphics and lan,
sata hard disk and 1Gb ram. Of course an IDE cdrom as well. The
motherboard model is DG31R if your interested.

“First of all there is the Linux installation. I put in the
first CD. Clicked through the setup process answering the few
questions. Swapped CD’s when I was asked to. In the end after about
thirty minutes I had a working CentOS Linux installation with all
hardware recognised and working. I then installed the latest
updates and was doing my Linux stuff (in this case installing and
configuring clustering).”
