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.

the gui-installer should offer the same options as the textbased-installer (and in good distros it DOES) but with the opportunity to easly roll back changes and decisions.
If you run a server and you want a text install, then (usually) you are given the choice just after the cd-boot, but think to a linux newbie that doesn't know what a kernel module is......
