One would hope. On the other hand... I'm apparently one of the few people who have had no problems installing Debian. I mean, sure, the installer doesn't do much, but then again, I don't expect it to, 'cause it's just an installer. I figured everybody just did a minimal install and then apt-get'ed everything on demand. I think the trick is (which was mentioned in that article, somewhat): do an install, but don't select any tasks, or any additional packages, and certainly don't bother with the kernel modules stuff, except for your net driver. Let all of that get setup, and then go and install the rest of the stuff that you need. It also seemed like that article was sort of being (a little) unfair, since he was trying to use a network card that wasn't supported by the CD's he had, and he didn't have a floppy to use to copy the driver over.
