Installs are kind of a pain, it helps when you have a firm grip on your hardware, and a few installs under your belt. The Debian install process basically starts with a small base system, a reboot from hard disk, then install of the rest of the packages. Dpkg is pretty verbose when it installs software, it's just not gooey. Debian has a package/version numbering scheme. In fact, the quality of the debian packages/packaging system is one of its primary selling points. But, I don't see how it has a lot to do with an initial installation (other than the distribution version). > it to make money or show off great content as a server.
