I agree. This would be better:

*Installing Linux*
Installing Linux is easy, here are some hints to get you started.

Try is a nasty word, it presupposes failure ;-)

I'm not really in favour of having the section "Why not Windows?".
IMHO, we should be concentrating on "why Linux", not "why not
<other>". Linux has plenty of merit to allow it to stand up on its
own. Everything in the "Windows" section could do with being in the
"Linux" section instead. Lack of restrictions, choice, source code and
freedom are all core benefits of FOSS.

It's a great, simple site though, and I hope it gets better and has
more publicity.
