SUSE's D-Installer Taking Shape As New Web-Based Linux Distro Installer

[unic0rn]

Some of you guys here act like you never saw a machine without video output.

Unlike a lot of people, I like the idea. HOWEVER, that name just sucks because, phonetically, it is Deinstaller.

At CompanyCORP we install our OS with D-Installer.

Deinstaller? You sure? That sounds like it removes the OS.

I'm positive. D-Installer installs.

Deinstaller installs?

Yep. D-Installer installs.

I still feel like you're trying to pull one over on me. What's the joke I'm not getting here?

Seriously. No joke. Here's the link.

Really? D HYPHEN Installer!?!?! What a clear and concise name

Yes, I like the idea but the naming is horrible.
I'm sure internally they had better names. I like the name Trioceros installer (Trioceros is a really cool chameleon genus) but i'm horrible at naming and i'm sure they have people who are good at naming.

eventually Microsoft will do a Web Based installer, it'll be cheaper to maintain, iv'e never been a fan of opensuse as i Loathe Yast crap

What do you mean? YaST is the best thing since sliced bread! You're the one and only person I've heard being negative about it.

I can't wait for these web based installers to add RSS feeds, email clients, and buttons for all of those social things that waste lots of your time.

And then there is the concern regarding "calling home" with personal data about YOU and bad actors injecting malware and other bad stuff into this stuff.

Geez! What could go wrong?

you have a server without video output, instead of doing whole install via ssh/serial/whatever and using text-based terminal, you point any web browser within local network to server's IP, problem solved. i doubt they're there yet, but considering they're using cockpit, that seems to be the goal.

so what the hell are you even ranting about? what buttons, what malware, what calling home? local network doesn't even have to be connected to the internet.

With a bit of polish this could wind up as the tech version of Who's on First.
