it's not userfriendly? that's the whole point of it actually. and X based GUIs are way nicer than text based GUIs. and it's also not userfriendly to go and say "go read the package descriptions". that's ok for advanced users, I doubt a beginner, overwhelmed with new things, can handle that. the frustration level is maybe a bit too high and dump debian altogether. so why hinder ease of use? :) so long Othmar
