Unfortunately, as I've been using Debian for many years (it was the first Linux distro I tried, since I found the 'free software' position highly compelling), I can't really comment on ease or difficulty of install. I tend to find that Debian installs painlessly, but it doesn't necessarily look pretty whilst it's doing it. I personally prefer to see what's going on, rather than watch a pretty picture or play tetris or whatever, it's just a confidence thing, but it seems that many people believe that if it's working "properly", then you shouldn't see anything. Maybe it should be called 'easy-Debian-ham' :-) -- Mark Kent
