There's a fairly comprehensive article on adding extra features to
SUSE 10.1 at http://www.thejemreport.com/mambo/content/view/254/42/

Similarly http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_5_installation_notes.html
covers adding all the extras to Fedora Core 5.

Ditto https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats for Ubuntu.

It seems we just have to accept that some tweaking is necessary at
present, either by the user himself or by a helpful friend. Your
computer-literate colleague shouldn't have any difficulty, I would
have thought.
