red hat installs in about 5 minutes
hmm and winblows takes more than a half hour
how's that for a random number comparison?!
as for features and functionality, i like to keep all of the options available --that is to say i use red hat, mandrake, win98, win2000, ie, mozilla, netscape, opera....... you get the idea... this way you are never stuck without the ability to do something.
the exception: never use spyware... disable all of your ie marketing exploitations and just don't use it unless you absolutely have to
