** Description changed: Ubuntu needs a system that appears for bootup for newbies, like "Welcome to Windows XP". It should provide video tutorials and introductions on what Ubuntu is, in newbie talk, what it can do for you, and how to do basic and advanced tasks. (I can help with videos). There should be an accessible link to live help (#ubuntu on freenode if networking is available, a phone call support number if support has been bought) for more questions the user might have. It should also provide a menu to help install commonly installed applications, such as Flash, Java, Skype, Google Earth, Wine (which - should be installed by default if at all possible), extra codecs.. - possibly by adding the Medibuntu repository. There should be a dial up - application and all available network drivers to help download, or the - packages in the system ready should it not be allowed to be included, to - prevent such Catch 22 situations as "You need to download a driver for - this network card". + should be installed by default if at all possible), extra codecs, + NVIDIA/ATI graphics drivers (just a yes/no or checkbox, not a "Oh no do + I want 173 or 177?").. possibly by adding the Medibuntu repository. + There should be a dial up application and all available network drivers + to help download, or the packages in the system ready should it not be + allowed to be included, to prevent such Catch 22 situations as "You need + to download a driver for this network card". It should also enable autorun for Windows CDs (after a warning), and some sort of application detection, so it can warn (from WineHQ) that an application "is not supported and may not work as expected" or "is expected to work near flawlessly". This will be a valuable addition to Ubuntu and will help rid new users of previous annoyances, and should help propel Ubuntu into being the easiest system yet to use. Please help spread this!
