did that guy actually say that point and click visual installers are a time *saver* ?? is he out of his mind?
It seems that most reviews on distrowatch.com come from the standpoint that Ubuntu is the ultimate user-friendly system. Arch, Gentoo and Slackware users beg to differ, but I guess the most typical Linux user agrees and that's who they are catering to.
it's not about userfriendliness, which is a very subjective topic. it's about time duration, which is scientifically measurable.
I'm pretty sure a scripted automatic installation goes faster then one where you need to point and click to make it do things.
Isn't the Arch installer always graphical, with a menu and stuff? Just because you use your keyboard instead of a mouse and it doesn't use X doesn't really make it any less user-friendly does it?
