You can't be implying that Slackware's installation is any better than
Debian's? Slackware's involves all the crap with disk sets and it's
not at all obvious how to go about installing more packages after the initial
installation. Debian presents the same package installation interface
all the time, and it's not too bad to use after reading the documentation.
I don't think reading the documentation is too much to ask for a tool
as powerful as this.
