I also forgot to mention that there's currently quite a bit of work going on to get Debian more user friendly at installation-time. One of the big initiatives is "debconf" which allows packages to have a common front-end to ask the user questions about their configuration settings during package installation. You'll note that quite a few packages are starting to use it as a default way to ask questions during installation now. Very nice stuff, and getting better all the time.
