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.
