That was an interesting read. I'll be interested to see the later parts as well.

I was thinkign about *nix and how it can't be installed by non-techno-weenies and I thought about Fedora Core, thats the "next clicking" installation that you mentioned, also a lot of other distrobutions of Linux use this style. I'm not sure about *BSD as I have never used it, but there may be a version with the simple clicking next.

Also I think that if people want non-techno-weenies to try out Linux, trying it out should be a case of ordering the Cds, booting it up, seeign a graphical interface and pressing next a few times similar to Windows XP installation. Instead of configuring network connections and extra programs/packages during install time it could install a basica operating system, then when working, it should prompt the user to set things up in an easy manor. Like the apt-get interface that Ubuntu has (forgot the name of it) for installing programs.
