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.

I've heard from one of my collage teachers that there is a way to install Win2k with a floppy that has a text file on the disk thatselects all the appropiate options during the install for you. Makes life easy I guess - but never tried it. Would be great for this type of thing in installing linux box, bsd or debian type instal I think. Just think, type a text file with all the options that you need, rebook the computer with the dostro install cd 1, put in the floppy and away you go. Becomes even handier when rththe distros are installed using a DVD.
