Graphics, User Interfaces I can't take anymore comments like "Debian/Gentoo/OpenBSD/etc. are not good/user-friendly because they lack a graphical installer." Searching the web, I couldn't find a comprehensive site describing the good and the bad about graphical installers for various OSes throughout the years, so in this article I hope to debunk a few of the myths on the basis of my own personal and professional experience.

Yeah I've been watching that thread. Luckily they've toned it down to a cli install...just someting other than a pure do it yourself style ;)

Luckily the majority of those I see participating aren't developers for gentoo yet. Just people looking to help that aren't interested in writing things like emerge files or doing debugging.

It takes all kinds.
