I recently had to install Debian as part of a project I'm doing to rollout Linux as a desktop and small server OS (replacing Windows domain controllers and small application servers) in Libraries. Debian's installation is possibly akin to having a cavity search or root canal surgery, most likely both at once.
Very unpleasent. That level of user hostility cannot be accidental, IMO no-one could accidentally write an installer that bad.
