Take for example RAID support which is what tripped me up in this case. It's rather complicated to set up Debian for RAID (and this something practically any decent server will need.) In Mandrake it's all graphical and point-and-click. I would really love to see something like this in Debian. Of the Debian-based distributions, Storm Linux has a very nice installer. However the one in the "Rain" release did not work well with SCSI devices at all. I hope this is fixed in "hail". Don't get me wrong, the Debian installer is very powerful and easy to use for me. I've done countless installs with it. But it's not state of the art. We should try and be careful to avoid the "Not invented here" syndrome and learn from wherever and whomever we can. -- Jaldhar H.
