Debian has made big strides since potatoe, and thet do have a gui installer in the works although I am not sure which version it will show up in. I have an experimental gui installer from progeny which was super simple and installed well. It kinda stinks but debian is one of those distros that alto simle once you understand it, it is frustrating to get to know initially. Ease of install Mandrake hands down.. But urpmi cant touch apt-get! Rob
