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 think I must agree with you...
Slackware's installer, while ncurses and thus not your flowers-and-perfume GUI installer, is by far the easiest (and one of the fastest) installs I've EVER done...and I've been installing OSes since DOS 5...
