Re: [Staffslug] Kubuntu musings...

If you know the machine can handle the gui installer then fine. Some people navigate them better than ncurses. I personally can navigate an ncurses setup faster than a gui one but it's still nice to have something easy on the eyes to look at. People hang pictures in their houses not descriptions of landscapes i suppose so why not use a gui? Depends what you're after i suppose. I can afford to wait the extra minute a gui might generate over a whole installation ;) On 23/09/2007, adam nicholls <inkysplat(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > > I prefer ncurses installer over GUI anyways, feels more stable and > robust.
