5 Yes maybe, probably coming from MDK, RH or Suse, those are usually
6 pretty fresh linux users. What i really meant to say was that the people
7 wanting a GUI installer are the same ones that have little actual linux
8 knowledge (the 'i want it to be simple and just work' people) and not
9 the more geekish crowd that Gentoo on the other side attracts. Those
10 like their installs as it is, with the full power that comes with it.
11 They don't want spiffy UI tools that only hide whats really going on. So
12 you only have to target the first group.
