At yesterday's Linux Copy Party, I installed Debian on yet another IBM
ThinkPad (a refurbished T20) using my trusted Sarge net-install
CD-ROM.  No problems whatsoever.  The user, who was migrating from
Fedora Core, didn't understand why the Debian installer has such a
reputation of being difficult to use.  Just because it's in text mode
doesn't mean it's "for experts".

Personally, I have never really understood the need for derivatives of
Debian.  This is perhaps a matter of taste.
