Installing using the installer means that, at best, you will get a
working installation without learning the things you need to know to
maintain it. More often, in my experience, it is far less successful. The
manual installation following the very well written handbook is far more
fruitful.

times per minute, then why do they give it to a little old man on a bike
to deliver?
