Please create a universal installer that will work on all distro's of Linux and that has a creation package.

I am thinking of the MSI files and software like Install Shield for creating the MSI's.

Currently using make of shell scripts just to be sure that an installer will work on all distro's is a little troublesome.

My opinion of this is that it will take Linux from hobby OS to a usable OS for all users.

In much the same way that Compiz got included as part of the default install (and got a lot of attention) AWN should be included (for those who can run it) as it adds an additional level of polish. Would help woo some Mac users probably too.

Twice now, while installing ubuntu, my MBR has been overwritten. A simple option to not install grub, or to
install to the root partition would be welcome.

For existing multi-boot systems this is a real time killer.
Took me three days to recover first time. Second time was
last night. Haven't recovered all the partitions yet.

I mean? there should be a normal ability to install Ubuntu without LiveCD e.g. from iso or even directory. Generally such ability exists now, but it should be easier and it will be great if there will be appropriate GUI.
