I think the many strengths of Linux can only be added to by smoother
installation. Linux remains a very strong, felxible, stable, and free
os. Sure, it may take the fun of the chase out of installing for a few
souls, but you can be rest assured (I hope) that any work done on
usabillity and UI will be done "on top" and not exclude what already
exists, only adding to to the user's options.
