  1. Re:does it still have that installer? by Delphis · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Just because you're a weinie point-and-clicker doesn't make the installer bad. It's almost a no brainer to install IMO. It is certainly not 'user-hostile'.

    No, I wouldn't recommend it to a newbie, maybe get them on RedHat or something first.

    As the above post states, if you want to use RPMs, you can.

    I've used RH5.1 through RH7.1 and have moved every box I own or administrate to Debian. I'll stick with that now, thanks :)

    FWIW, my first distro was Slackware 3.6, installed via floppy disk and NFS.
