With slightly older, not so cutting edge machines perhaps?  Woody just
doesn't work right on my test box, without a large amount of command line
work.  Suse and Fedora worked fine out of the box, apart from the necessary,
but automated, downloading on the Nvidia driver, presenting everything the
beginner user might need without having to even touch the command prompt.
Its not like my test rig is particularly unusual either, being based on an
Nforce2 motherboard, which has been around for at least two years.  *shrug*
