&gt; &gt; &gt; Everyone disses the debian install program.  But remember essentially
&gt; &gt; &gt;  the same install program runs on every architecture debian supports
&gt; &gt; &gt; including at least x86 PCs, m68k Macs, Amigas, Ataris, PPC Macs,
&gt; &gt; &gt; Sparcs, and SGI Indys to name just a few.  Try to name one other
&gt; &gt; &gt; distribution that supports more than 2 architectures.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; I applaud Debian for their efforts, but let's face it:
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; 1. Who needs to support more than 2 architectures?
&gt; &gt;
&gt; No one needs this.  But isn't it good that we have a free distribution
&gt; available for almost every architecture supported by the Linux kernel?
&gt; &gt; 2. Spreading a poorly designed install interface across multiple arch.
&gt; &gt; is not exactly a good thing.
&gt; There is a new install interface available for some architectures in
&gt; testing.  It's just taking a long time because the Debian policy is to
&gt; attempt support all architectures.
