Hi,
I will soon be buying cPanel hosting and it will come with Softaculous. Just wanted to know if its safe to install Drupal using Softaculous ?
I know Fantastico installs outdated versions, but I have heard good things about Softaculous.
Installing manually is also possible, but I might need to make 3-4 installations for other clients and hence this would be a luxury if its possible.

They're up to date
Softaculous are very good at keeping things up to date. Subscribe to their Twitter feed, and you'll soon see that they update their Drupal installation within 24 hours of a new release.
If you wanted to use them to update core once Drupal releases a new version, proceed with caution. If you've only put files / modules in the standard locations, you should be fine, but make sure you've backed up the file system and database before you do it. The kinds of files I'd want to check are still there after the upgrade are custom favicon / logo.png files.
