which I think is no longer an issue. The Woody installer was unuseable. But, the new Sarge is very good, especially the netinst/businesscard CD. I think Ubuntu has its own installer. Yum comes close, but apt and the rich Debian repositories is worth the switch.
Ubuntu uses the new Debian installer. Even though Debian hasn't a release version yet.
I unstalled Kubuntu for a quick look the other day. It asked me more Qs than I expected (I installed Hoary quite a few times before its release).
When I last installed Hoary (the immediate past release), my prism54-based wireless card came up working. Configuring it required a touch of vim - the GUI didn't cope with all the wireless bits.
