@Ralf: from all the canned distros installers I've seen so far Ubuntu's is
the best, far superior to the rest (including Win and MacOS) and certainly
fairly ease to use; however I agree with you that Anaconda sucks (hard) and
that all these graphical installers (including Ubuntu's Ubiquity) are
targeted almost exclusively to non-technical people (openSUSE's installer
may be an exception here) leaving us out.
Looking on the bright side, the vast majority of this installers let you
have a fully functional system in no time, varying from 15 minutes or less
(like Ubuntu) ~35' (like Windoze).
Cheers!
