[LBo] Install Linux in half an hour

[Billy Pollifrone]

The fact that many popular devices work out of the box makes this not
that amazing. Not having to dig and hunt for a plethora of driver discs
helps that time immensely. Keep in mind also that a running linux pc is
not necessarily the same as a fully functional desktop pc. Customization
to meet your needs of course will increase the time substantially.
