Call me a dinosaur, obsolete curmudgeon, or just an old fart, I don't care. But I would much rather have a text installer that works 100% of the time than be one of those 10% that the GUI install fails on. > > Yes.

Let me translate that into how I read it: "I don't give a damn how the much the car leaks oil or belches out smoke or offends the neighbors with its stench, just get me to work in the morning." I don't want an OS that just works. I can get that with Windows. I want an OS that works well.
