Why is a clueless-user-friendly installation irrelevant for an Athena port?
(or did I misinterpret?) A significant fraction of Linux-Athena users are
people who want their home computer to be "just like Athena" and who don't
want/need to know a whole lot about Linux. I think that Redhat's
installation procedure is a big reason why it's a good current choice for
the Athena-Linux base distribution.
