New Re: Right.
Don't even attempt to understand it. It's not possible.

It's just a thing they do.

New All you have to do, is really try the thing.
You would be converted to Ross.

It took about three months before I feel comfortable with Debian. Even then *I* still ask questions.

I'm not defending the POS default installer. Take it from me, IT SUCKS and BLOWS! at the same time.

pgi or fai when worked out, are orders of magnitude better.

And the whole idea is to get a BASE system installed first (most if not all hardware detected and setup properly), then go on from there.

Then and only then do you make the choice "Server" or "Workstation" or a combo of both. Even then it's not written in stone.

New Begone, vile thing.
We've had this out before - there is nothing you can add to this conversation.

You need to run Windows XP, because that's an operating system where someone else has made all the decisions for you.

Run along now, dear. Mother knows best.

New Mostly..
Ian, I "render unto UNIX what is UNIX's". That is, numerical codes and the like. The desktop UNIX experience is lacking, given that there are no real applications to run on it.
