Comment easy install good for hardcore techno geeks too (Score 2, Insightful) 302
It's not really a matter of noobies vs. geeks, or intutive vs. non-intuitive, is it? It's a matter of automation.
Most modern installers automatically detect hardware settings and proceed accordingly.
Why would an ubergeek prefer to enter in chip information any more than a noobie?
And why would a super-intuitive interface (if there is such a thing), or at least a conventional one, solve the problem of the installer not figuring it all out automatically?
Finally, would an ubergeek reject Debian if it were as easy to install as Mandrake or Redhat? Is that all there is to Debian that makes it a distribution of choice for geeks?
