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.

seriously though, gentoo debian and the bsd's do each hold a candle of delight, since neither of them are meanth for joe schmoe.
and if joe and vera tries any of them out well then they are on their own since neither debian or gentoo are developed for "new users" but for "Advanced Users and developers" I think that needs to be said before we go into yet another heated debate ...
had this been a discussion about the big three, i could have agreed somewhat but flint, your comment is a fair bit offbase.
