The secret is that anybody can install Linux even if they can't do it confidently.

Maybe it was just bad luck or owning a piece of non standard hardware, but in 2006 when I as a Linux newbie installed Ubuntu 6.06 the OS wouldn't boot afterwards no matter what. Until by chance I chose LILO as a bootloader instead of grub. Not exactly a beginner friendly experience, but very enlightening one.
