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 ;)

I prefer ncurses installer over GUI anyways, feels more stable and

also no guarentuee that an Xserver will run on some machines?
Is it me or would technically a ncurses install be much more quicker
(as in overall execution of installing and setting up the system),
seems as there wouldn't be the overhead of a GUI ?
Its an interesting debate we seem to have started here.
