"For alot of folks that probably wouldn't be true."

The thing is, Debian isn't really for the inexperienced, exactly because the install is so funky. More proof of Ross' assertion that Debian is a mind-game for dweebs, if you want to take it that way. ;-)

I didn't say the assertion was true.

Just that you might use it as proof of such. ;-)

But it could be...

..because maintenance and program installation >are< so simple...give it a good installer and it wouldn't have to be relegated to "the experienced"

BBBBBBbut....

If it was installable and maintainable by "mere" non-experienced... We'd lose our Snobbian/Dweebian/Deb-O-Snob handles...

Now we *CAN'T* have that.
