I know what you mean. Part of the joy of Linux is that you take control of your own system. But IMO this should be a choice. Corel produced a Debain installer that was miles ahead of anything else out there. so we know that installing Debian can be done easily and properly in a gui setup. Somehwere, lwn.net I think, I saw details of a common Linux installer being developed. I wonder if theDebian project is interested in using such a thing. and at the start, you could have an option "Installation for manly geeks" vs "Installation for wusses"
