I'm totally agree on this point. In my experience of installing debian to many different kind of people this is a very diffuse user cases and not only for low tech people also for avg tech people. It's a little psicological problem against debian that a small and tested kernel patch could solve. Some basically bootslpash + kernel patch for debian could be finded here: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/ This cuold be a pointo of start for an official integration in the debian kernel. Cheers, Stefano
