[Koha] just how hard is it?

[Christine Forte]

hi everyone, 

i've been watching this list for about a month.  i'm not a technophobe,
but know next to nothing about linnux.  i've seen enough on this list to
decide that koha windows isn't worth the trouble (and am sort of
anti-windows anyway).  many of these questions are just baffling.

what i want to know is, how hard is it really to get koha set up?  from
start (making the pc a linnux machine, installing apache, mysql and perl)
to finish (installing koha, uploading records, adding barcodes,
circulation, web opac)?  

on a scale of  1 to 10, with one being as easy as downloading adobe
acrobat reader  and 10 being so difficult that it would be best not
attemped by anyone w/o a degree in computer science.

i'm so intrigued by this software.  but intimidated, too.  any advice from
the non-techie folks?

(yes, i know i can hire someone to do this, but i love the diys aspect,
too.)

cheers,
c.
