Ahem. There is nothing in any other distro to compete with kick start
and anaconda for automated installs.
Jumpstart for Solaris is without a doubt the most mature automated
configuration tool on the planet for UNIX based systems.
Kick Start and anaconda fare quite well against Jumpstart. That is not
a mild complement.
For many of us, our users never get involved with installing anything on
their systems. Literally hundreds of desktops can be stamped out in a
day, with hardware variances accounted for, using kick start and anaconda.
So to be specific, there are some aspects of anaconda which a user would
see if doing the install themselves that you don't approve of. I can
accept that.
For many of us, anaconda and kick start are why we follow fedora and
recommend RH to our customers. :)
