Graphical Gentoo Installer In The Works

Posted by timothy on Wednesday April 27, 2005 @10:56AM from the cool-kids-must-retreat-now dept.

JonLatane writes "Without a doubt, Gentoo has set itself apart from every other distro out there. Because it's source-based, it's notorious for its speed. Because of emerge, it's notorious for being simple to maintain. And because of its "install system" (if it can be called that), it's notorious for scaring off potential users before they even get to try it. Well, that's all going to change, because there is a graphical Gentoo installer in the works. It can run with a dialog frontend that bears a striking similarity to Ubuntu, or for faster systems a GTK+ frontend is available."

Won't Gentoo lose all of it's coolness factor if anybody who can click a mouse can install it?
