Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I went to the expert. This guy has
been an Apple fan since the first Apple ][. If he can't get the Mac
to do stuff I can't see the unwashed having much of a chance at all.
And the question was, "Which one had the easier install?" Ubuntu
was one click. Even if all the Mac required was to check a bunch of
boxes it would be more, wouldn't it?
