Seriously, if you use something later than Debian 2.2 (which is technology some  3 or  4 years old now?) you'd see that none of those command line things are required.  Advise newbies to use RedHat 9, SuSE 9, whatever the latest Mandrake is, Xandros 2, or Desktop LX - they are all trivial to setup and use.

My sister (the least computer literate person I have ever met) finds SuSE 9 a much better OS to use than Windows 2000.
