    Storm tried and failed.

    Progeny tried and failed.

    Corel tried and failed.

    The Debian community is simply to anal to take on these "user-friendly" additions. I really wish they would do something about this!

    Debian--'cos life's too long :-/

    • This may be waayyyyyy out of leftfield, but isn't someone installing something by definition a beginner?

    You're right, every time I was installing Debian in the last few years (over 100 different boxes) I was a beginner and I was complaining that Debian installer is not newbie-friendly. And then I found out that I'm a stupid moron and that was the problem with Debian newbie-friendlyness!
