In the previous article, our computer newbie family, Mike, Diane, Mary and Carla, had decided they wanted GNU/Linux installed on the new family/business computer. Debian, via Libranet 2.0, was installed on the system, with appropriate business/office software, as well as the Gnome desktop environment. The next steps involved getting the system configured for easy use and adding various minor tweaks. Mike, Diane and the kids were not involved during the configuration phase of the system.

Actually that is what I was hoping the article was about, not a "I set up your machine and here it is" kind of thing. It's easy to try anything new if everything is preconfigured. I started to install debian on my Mac once, when it came up asking how many sectors of my hardrive to allocate to a particular partition I threw it away. There is no reason for any OS today to be that arcane.
