How many steps you need to install Erlang on your machine: "sudo apt-get install erlang"?

First off, is everyone running your Linux distro? ("sudo pkg_add erlang" works for me, though.)

Besides, are you seriously implying that the hard part of getting started with Erlang is installing it? A lot of developers aren't willing to sink time into learning a language that actually has new ideas, you know? Hell, it's not even OO. :)
