I have to agree with this in general. Just try the Stormix/Debian
installer. For the newbie it does everything you ask and its completely
Debian. So once you are up and running you apt-get from the Debian
mirrors and away you go.
The Debian rite of initiation is what keeps a lot of people
away from Debian, but maybe that is what's intended.... sort of
like if you can't install it, maybe you should stick with something
easier attitude, or perhaps its because there's no commercial incentive to
get people to use Debian.
