You compare an *expert* Debian install with a regular Windows install? Not a fair comparison it seems to me. From what I read you can even install Debian to a fresh box by just hitting enter all the time. I never tried this, but you have even guided partitioning in the installer. So what? I don´t think the Debian installer is that difficult. You do not have to use expert mode and I think beginners may be better off using the simple mode that asks less questions. That said installers from SUSE, Fedora and Ubuntu might be more polished. But then the Ubuntu live cd installer - not the Debian installer from the alternative CD - couldn´t even speak LVM for quite a while and it can still not speak SoftRAID AFAIK and there are plans to drop the alternate installer nonetheless. I wouldn´t like to have that flexibility removed from the Debian installer. I think the SUSE installer can do both LVM and SoftRAID. I am sure about LVM. But not completely sure about SoftRAID. I think it can do it. Anyway, if you have concrete suggestions on how to improve the Debian installer why don´t you just file enhancement requests or make your suggestions / concerns to the Debian installer team?
