It can do quite a bit on hardware detection on the fly and is
able to adjust partitioning, Graphics, package selection and what
not automatically on the fly.
I was very impressed with the presentation Thomas gave at the
DebCon in Bordeaux.
But this flexibility comes with a price. According to him you
have to spend at least one day (this is an average number) till
you have it set up.
If you do installation regularly it is likly to pay of.
