Well, as far as the installation gui is concernced, the current Debian installer requires a minimum of resources to run, which makes it accessible on many systems. Compare that to Anaconda or the like. Anywas, Debian is slowly working on a gui installer for future releases.
Elitism when talking about GNU/Linux distros? Never!!!
