It may have been a pain 2001, but it certainly was much better than Windows XP to install around 2006 or 2007, I remember.

I had an IBM R51 (many years old at that point), which used to take 2 hours+ to install Windows XP, and it was always very slow to use. I installed a bunch of different Linuxes over the years and it extended the life of the laptop significantly. Most Linux installers already had a good GUI installer on the Live CD at that point.
