Re: [OT, FLAME] Linux Sucks

[Jeff Green]

I have but one comment, it isn't "easier" or "harder" with a graphical 
interface, it is different. For myself, I think in lists and never in 
pictures, I think text mode screens are great and graphical interfaces 
needless complications made by idiots solely to make my life difficult, 
however I recognise I am an extreme case and that there are other perfectly 
sane experience and technically competant sysadmins who take a diametrically 
opposed view.
Oh and thinking about it I lied I have other comments, not every distro needs 
to anything of the sort, the reason why many distributions are an advantage 
over a single one is that they are different, maybe it would help some people 
if "every distro that wants to cater to Desktop users implemented a GUI 
installer" but so what? Some distributions will do so, people working on other 
distributions will look at these and say either "Wow that's good, lets do 
something like that" or "good idea but if we did it this way it would be even 
better" or "stupid bloody waste of time what prat did that?". These people 
will then act according to their opinions and the users will choose. Now if we 
are talking a perfect installer, I vote for a single floppy that I can insert 
in the front of a brand new clean machine plugged into my network, answer 4 or 
5 simple questions and it goes away and installs a complete system from the 
net over the next hour or so, that would be a text mode installer for everyone 
to love!
