Linux Today reviews Libranet here:

        Only one word can describe Libranet's installer: 'awesome'.
        Libranet's installer is text based (gasp), but it is simple,
        clean, easy to use, and smooth. Unfortunately there is this
        mentality among many computer users that everything graphical
        is easy to use, and anything text based is geeky and is not
        user friendly. Libranet's installer just shows how wrong this
        mentality is. I myself have dozens of times found my self in a
        situation dealing with a graphical installer, where I just
        don't know where to click because everything is so messed up.
        And I don't understand why some people call those eye candy
        useless installers which are barely able to perform their
        jobs; 'user friendly'. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing
        against a graphical installer. But in my opinion an installer
        (or in fact any kind of program) can be good and user
        friendly, or can be bad an useless, regardless of wether they
        are graphical or text based.
