	I belive PC Plus have done articles like this before. Comparing
different OS and how easy they are too install. Can we take 10 OS and
compare them or somthing. On non bias rules of course. Lets make a list

Windows 3.1
Windows 95 (If we are going to be historic OS2)
Windows XP
Windows ME
Debian
Redhat
Suse
Knoppix
beOS
BSD

	Install all some reasonably modern hardware against the clock. (Oh
and get everything working (from a list))
	We would have course have to comment on what worked and what did
not.
