Frankly, Debian's installation looks better than any of the others I've
seen. Especially Caldera's, which is due to the fact that the laptop on
which it was being installed displayed good only at 1024x780. Text based
installations aren't subject to vagaries of the screen & video card as much.

BTW - we offer a choice on what games you can play while the installtion
runs. Just head on over to console 2 and check it out.
