I agree with this, Caldera has really the coolest install from all
linuxes; it even has Tetris while you run the installation. And I don't
see the new installation is seem very impressive.
But I'm not sure if we can go this way with dpkg. Installation of Deb
pacakges is still interactive. Maybe with the new configuration db
manager... BTW, is people has some regards for COAS (http://www.coas.org).
It seems to be a project with the same goals as us.
