You could be right from your point of view dear but name me any distribution besides "Debian" where simply installing a specific software package makes it run fully functional then and there.
Redhat? Mandrake? SuSE? Gentoo? Not Linux, but the *BSDs?

Does rpm -ivh foo.rpm get you things up and running. take the same example. rpm -ivh httpd-foo.rpm Still you need to vi the httpd.conf file and look down into 200 plus lines of configuration to settle everything. note: all this i'm trying to prove for a normal/average linux user
As soon as the installation finishes you find that your webserver has been up and running (barebone only though) without even vi-ing any of the apache config files.. Woo! Is that complicated ???
vim is far simpler, particularly when you decide to virtualhost everything.
Do you forget some people still say, "Oh Vim! Nightmare. What's this modes thing ".. Though I'm a vim lover
How do you people describe the word "complicated" ???
That which cannot be automated, and where the configuration is not editing a simple text file. If I need to jump through a wizard, its too complicated.
I see rarely people saying wizards "complicated". Microsoft Word is too complicated for it's wizards, right ?? Setting up email clients like outlook express and evolution using wizards is complicated. What's simple ? configuring mutt ??
