"Most, if not all, distros have several installation classes. Why not have a "newbie" installation class that just installs the basics."

Can you just imagine the debate, not only between KDE and GNOME, but as far as editors, and any tools/utils to install. Many times, there are only 15 different programs on the CD to do the same thing. Which will be installed in the "newbie class?" No matter what they pick, someone will hate it. Not to mention that almost all geeks will denounce it as not being a real version of Linux.

It's been a recurring idea on /. for a while, but what true, hardcore Linux geek really wants it to go mainstream?
