Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying all linux distro's should ONLY be easy to stall i'm just saying in a addition to their current installation methods some one should add a very simple installation interface as well. That way you encourage new people to start in a "Dont Hurt Me" difficulty of installation. After that, they use linux and become familiar with with the beast of the machine. Then when they've finally settled in they can use the same distro to reinstall regularly hand picking kernel options and all that nonsense that makes unix so optimized.
