ditto
personally, i like a gui that allows choices ...
- pick this or pick that
- if you dont care, it'd decide for you/us
also, when installing, i want to tell it everything once...
and tell it go and it does it all .. i dont want to sit there
and baby sit it every step of the way, one question at a time
as it does it thing for a minute or 5 min or 10 min and sits
and wait for the next answer
- nope, i didnt try the installer yet, but have
downloaded the iso .. just waiting for a guinea pig
to walk in the door that wants to see it

that's a good thing to allow choosing which version
along with server type ( mail vs web vs printer vs dns vs fw vs ... )
along with security level of "easy" or "super paranoid"
along with which servers to upgrade/update against
.. blah blah ... the fun of "installing and maintaining it correctly"

it will .. guaranteed ...
- i hope the installed system will give a clue to newbies
which version they have installed
"cat /etc/debian_version" might not be sufficient
