And you're not distorting the discussion when you talk about something
that is related to something but when someone else talks about something
that is related to something they are distorting it?
You need to get used to thinking things through some more, even if it
seems complicated to you.
What about the Debian installer? How does the clueless user know which
keys he needs to press? You could start at that question when
discussing how to increase the market share of Debian installations. Or
what are you discussing? Partitioning? The frequent inability to
install grub? The claim that in most cases the installer works by
itself? Ugh ...
