Story: Debian Sarge focuses on easy installation

I'm a newbie; I never have installed Linux before. I have NO command line knowledge, and I was able to download the latest Sarge daily, (about 105 Mb), boot with it, then do a network-driven installation of Sarge, including a single Logical Volume partition, even though I'm behind a firewall, was being DHCP served, and didn't know anything about the network I'm on. The new Sarge installer is a delight. If I can now figure out how to always keep my software upgraded, without using the command line, then I will have to say that Linux is as easy to use as Windows. Will there be, or is there, a mechanism for keeping programs current that does this as easily as .exe for updates does?

So if you upgrade to XP SP3 you can't uninstall Internet Explorer, I'm quite sure I'm having a Deja-vu feeling about MS preventing people from uninstalling Internet Explorer in other Windows products.
