It won't need massive configuration! It should work for the vast 
majority of people OUT OF THE BOX! That is the whole point! We take 
the best parts of debian(apt, debconf, update-*), and then rewrite 
everything else from the ground up(pacakges and all..but the 
installer may ask the user if they would like to put the 
debian/stormix/libranet/progeny linux apt sources so they can get 
pacakges from them too). We will be using the mandrake hwdetect 
libraries to detect hardware, a nice text mode / GUI installer, and 
some other nice stuff. You just create a user or two during install, 
reboot(or maybe not), and you log in using gdm under X! No 
configuration at all! Less than even windows! yay! Isn't that good 
enough for you?

All views expressed are IMHO.
Because MHO is better than yours.
