In my case, 99 times out of ten it is a case of "Sit at the console and

frustration level. Were I dealing exclusively with Debian installs,
perhaps my creaky wetware would become conditioned to "the install isn't
complete until you apt-get install openssh-server" but I deal with three
other distros and at least two other operating systems where this isn't
an issue.
Out of interest, how do those other OSs mitigate the possibility of a
clueless admin choosing "password" as the root password, and so getting
their box rooted within moments of it going on the net?
