Download Anaconda for Debian
hsoom writes "Debian Planet is reporting that unofficial sarge-based ISOs using the Anaconda installer can be downloaded from here. The features developed so far include '...changed the code that installs software to use APT instead of RPM, removed Red Hat-specific configuration hooks, and written a new tool called picax that builds Anaconda-based installation CDs from a Debian repository'. However there are features that are not yet working and it is not recommended for use in a production environment."
I can understand some people saying Debian, in it's current state is difficult to install.
But I cringe when I hear that from a fellow computer person. I mean honestly, just because it's not using framebuffer and a mouse on install?
True, deslect/apt can be intimidating, but much easier the trying to manually find rpms down the road...
Do you spend more time supporting systems or installing systems??? Me, it's supporting them, so I love apt...
And if I hear one more RH person say "Well, just select 'everything' on install, then Up2date doesn't have dependicy problems" I'm gonna kick them in the kneecap...
It's too bad that they are making linux so easy to install. Soon I'm going to have to move on to Hurd or something.
