Paul,
I haven't used the Red Hat installer, so I really can't compare. I found the
new Debian Installer (both Beta 2 and Beta 3) incredibly easy to use,
however. I even got a clean install without looking at any of the
instructions (that was a test run. I was trying to see how intuitive it was).
Remember that I'm a Debian newbie - although not a Linux newbie.
Question: Is Red Hat *REALLY* that much easier to setup? It seems difficult to
believe it could be. Note that I've never tried the old Debian installer.
