The stuff I'm talking about the Debian installer doesn't handle: pretty fonts, fast OpenGL, scanners, printers, modern Gnome/KDE, digital sound-out, ac3, a good Real/Windows/Quicktime/MPEG/DVD player, you know, all the "good stuff." And I also had to learn about aptitude, and figure out which of 7000 packages were worth a damn. Sid. The stuff D-I actually *does*, it does great (DHCP, partitions, network cards, server-ish stuff).
