Might I remind you: something called "First Impressions".
e.g. Debian's. Truly Wierd installation is also one reason I didn't persist with Debian. What's that you say? Keeps out the riff-raff? I think it's keeping out more than you might think...
We'll appreciate your holding your criticisms to the install, then.

Peter installs Debian, starts shilling for it. The woman he loves accepts his proposal for marriage. Coincidence? I think not.

1. Primarily, but IMHO Debian is not doing itself any favours by lagging behind with the Installation Routine. 2. I largely do. 3. I'll have to believe you and Peter, though my experiences after two installs were not stellar. (I suspect this may be more telling than mere failed installs, but they are issues we've been over before.) 4. uh... 5. ... now we're over on another plane. :-)
