on the topic of gnome, i was pleasantly surprised when i installed the latest 
ubuntu on a new system. gnome is the default window manager and 
everything "just worked", i'm not talking in a hardware sense, but in the way 
that you can burn, rip, autoplay cd's and change settings... etc. the user 
who hasn't had any pc for several years asked how they could do "x" or "y" 
and the answer from me was normally "erm there should be an application on 
the menu for that..." and there was. unfortunately i cant remember any of the 
app names :-(

The one i would add to the list would be the default cd ripping/playing app if 
only lame was installed by default. (think this was due to licensing issues)
