I can install any Linux release - I'll do it without a GUI if I need to. The point I was making (that you clearly overlooked) is that an easy, intuitive installation process is one of the most desirable aspects of a modern Linux release.
If you're unable to understand why then you need to read some studies on user acceptance of software; otherwise you'd know that unnecessary barriers such an overly complicated installation process will have a very negative impact upon usage.
If I was a regular user and I was faced with this mess rather than something intuitive like Draklive; I would give up and move to something that cares about user experience.
Remember, there are many, many releases to choose from and that's the danger. Too many of them are equally good AND easy to install.
Did you even read the review? Like at all?

So please, keep the fanboy comments to a minimum.
