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.

"Installing the OS is as much part of using it as running it. The text-age should come to a close now, time to move on and conquer the desktop."
As a blind person (or mostly blind,) who has to stare at the screen through a tiny hole in a telescope all day, and get headaches trying to follow a mouse arund, I want to thank you for this insightful comment.
Why would anyone want to *converse* with a machine, anyway?
