Installing it isn't difficult at all (I think easier than Slackware), and once you're familiar with Linux basics and console, its administration is the easiest thing on earth. I have been using it for more than one year almost exclusively, and I couldn't be happier- maybe it's not "stable enough" for usage in a Corporate Server, but for SOHO environment it simply rocks, either as workstation or as a server. Oh, and everything that is free, but not GPL IS there, you can install and use it right-out-of-the-box...
