You install it by putting a CD in the drive and clicking on a few
buttons labelled things like "Yes" and off you go. Just as easy to use
as Windows, but you get a lot more software with the default
installation.
I actually had to go get a cup of coffee while some non-FOSS goodies
downloaded, since mine was not on CD.
It depends on the distribution of course, some already have non-FOSS
stuff in them and pop up licence agreements you have to agree to.
But I will second that: Flash works perfectly, MySpace and YouTube also
work perfectly. I also have a nice free Flash authoring tool. With
whom *do* these rumors get started?
Sometimes I think from people who last tried Linux since about Red Hat
3.0. The rate of change is much faster than what Windows users are used
to.
