"Stripped down" doesn't necessarily imply "easier to use".
1 - Because newbies want to start the computer, get their mp3s from their windows machine and listen to them right away.
2 - Because newbies want to start the computer, insert a divx and see it right away.
3 - Because newbies want to start their computer, open a window and have the desktop effects right away (even if they have an nvidia graphics card).-jgpaiva (October 19, 2009, 12:21 PM)

All necessary software can easily be installed during the Debian installation process. What's wrong with that?

No linux newbie in their right mind would get rid of Windows and go strictly linux right off the bat. They would either keep windows on another machine or dual boot. You need some place familiar that works to call home while you are researching possible issues you may have.

Maybe use a network cable until you got your wifi problem sorted out? ;)
BTW:wouldn't it be more correct to say when it doesn't work? ;D Wifi connectivity is still a major (and completely unnecessary) challenge for many new Linux users. We can thank the hardware manufacturers for that.
