ROCKLinux has no kind of graphical installers and doesn't show puppets during the installation, moreover like FreeBSD it comes with clean installation instructions. I have experienced a clear handbook is the most useful thing. Therefore, as an after-Wodka-thought, I would simply like to write 'California über alles, sysinstall über alles...' [Dead Kennedys]. Please, don't waste your time to reply this idiocy, it is only a stroke of colour. .VWV.
