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. :)

True.
I am one happy RH guy who've done ~300 installs in a day, using kickstart and anaconda.
+1 for the thoughts.
