Progeny Announces Graphical Installer for Debian Woody

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the gui-but-not-sticky dept.

jdaily writes "In light of recent negative reviews of Debian in which the installer was roundly criticized, this announcement may have particular timeliness and relevance: Progeny has made available an i386 Debian 3.0 (woody) installer image based on PGI, the Progeny Graphical Installer. This is available at Progeny's free software archive." I've installed Debian so many times that I've just learned to cope with the installer, but this is a much needed boost.

      Bummer. Guess that means I'll have to get a graphics card as well. Hey ho, down the slippery slope...

      Nah, use an eight-year-old child - they're much better suited.

      It just struck me exactly how bad that advice would sound out of context.

    A picture of Tux holding a glass of beer in the top left corner isn't graphical enough for you???

    Decent systems, like Debian or FreeBSD, you only install once!

    If you only have one machine.
