Finally, I don't know how you feel about graphical installers (obviously
with an option to go text-based, sorry if you've already discussed
this), but Fedora (and BLAG, a 100% free distro based on it) use a great
graphical installer called Anaconda. Information and screenshots
available at
http://fedora.redhat.com/About/Projects/anaconda-installer/ . IMHO it's
the easiest installer I've used. I think Ubuntu was also making an
attempt to move over to a graphical installer for the next release,
though I'm not sure what they plan on using.

Progeny ( http://www.progeny.com/ , based on Debain - started by debina founder Ian Murdock) also uses Anaconda (They ported Anaconda for Debian).

Next versions of Debian will have graphical installer. Some details here

and here

Also there is a wiki 
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstallerGUI 

Some screenshots of the graphical installer here.
