Maybe people like the RH install because they are familar with a Microsoft GUI 
install. They perceive that a GUI install screen must be superior to a text 
screen.

I don't think trying to compete with redhat is going to achieve a lot. Redhat 
can throw money at the producing a nice looking install, whereas debian relies 
on volunteers. Surely it would be better to concentrate on an official SLINK 
release, more packages, etc ...

If someone feels strongly that a GUI install is essential, do it yourself.
