Head above parapet time?

I find the hand-holding, suitable-for newbies, so-called-easy Ubuntu installer 
utterly incomprehensible.  Last time I tried to use it, I gave up part way 
through and used the alternate installer.  The Ubuntu alternate installer is, 
of course, the Debian installer.  Now that I understand.

Horses for courses?
