It is very simple, not a hard task at all, Installation is just as easy, if not quicker and easier than a Windows installation. The only slightly different bit is the disk layout, but the setup utility can do that automatically for you. Once you get installed try using the GUI tools installed. But maybe search google for the configuration text file ways of doing it. It will add to your knowledge more. If you want any help with any configuration files or the tools for setting up Linux just ask on our forums
