Corel was my first Linux and I was sold by the easy install process. I
wasn't computer illiterate (had used OS/2 almost exclusively for some time),
but Linux illiterate (still am to a great degree). When it became clear that
Corel wasn't going to continue, I went to a purely debian system. I'm now
very comfortable with the debian install, but it took a while to understand
what I'm doing.
Don't underestimate the drawing power of a simplified install process in
attracting new users to Debian.
