Untrue. Debian's install is still as unappealing as ever -- it's a
curses like menu install, a far cry from Red Hat, Mandrake or Suse's GUI
installers.
Most people are dissuaded from Debian for this reason alone -- the
installer lacks any autodetect features like other Linux distros and
assumes the user has a decent knowledge of the system's hardware when
installing. Too bad, since apt-get, dpkg, and dselect are by far (IMHO)
the best package management tools for any of the available distros.
