Red Hat and Mandrake both have the option of text-mode "expert"
installation.  Some people find the way one distro does things
intuitive, some another.  Personally (debian user), I think choice of
distribution is more a matter of aesthetics than anything else.  Like a
favourite colour.

It's also a very unfriendly one, which not even the developers deny.
