That's all true. I've found the Ubuntu installer looks /very/ polished and nice for very common install cases, but I always use LVM on every install that I do, and last time I did a VM install of Ubuntu, I had to switch to a VT and get LVM sorted on the command line. Not super user friendly as compared with Anaconda. Other installers were even more of a joke doing this stuff. Tried doing LVM on Gentoo? :) Things like LVM and VNC do really matter, and not just for "Enterprise" users. You don't need to use LVM w/wo RAID, you can just do bare partitions if you don't care about being able to do anything useful with your disks at all :) Jon. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
