I'm not sure if they've done this, but they REALLY need to compress their distro down a lot! 3 - 4 cd's to get a usable desktop is terrible. They should get a gnome desktop, and office suite onto cd 1, then development tools on cd 2, etc. last time i tried fedora, i needed to download 3 cd's just to get a desktop.

Heh, I'm a programmer and I can't be bothered learning about how to use command line partitioning tools or setting up stuff from scratch.
I just want a distro that I can install quickly, has the development environment I need so I can start working immediately.
As a result, I lean toward distros which do have GUI installers.
