Note that he is talking about Debian 2.2 in this paragraph.

I don't recall such details of this installer.


But I don't know what's so special about this article:

Someone talks a bit about his experiences with the latest versions of 
several distributions plus some experiences with older releases like 
Debian 2.2 or SuSE 8.1 .

I didn't see anything that made it that special from hundreds of other 
reviews of different Linuxx distributions.
