As I just told Jordan... I disagree. The visual config stuff is neat, and can be a lifesaver... but requiring users to do it is going to bite, *hard*. I had to help a (very technical) friend go through the process -- this is someone who had installed linux on his system with no problem, he's dealt with funky PC hardware before, etc. And yet he needed help to config the kernel before booting. I really think forcing more people to do it is bad.
