    While I haven't used anaconda, I didn't really find the sarge installer
    difficult to use - it even set up my wireless card for me flawlessly. I will
    grant, however, that there are some questions it asks that someone who is not
    a computer geek (I'm guilty as charged) will know how to answer. I understand
    that it is a tremendous improvement over the past installer.
