Not quite qualified to be a presenter... Perhaps I could volunteer as your
visual aid, "See, <taps cage with pointer> if this ignorant hillbilly can
install Linux, *you* can too!" ;-)
Seriously, would like to see some advanced tweaking from the GUI. Often when
I Google a problem, the only answers to be found are command line. Fine if
it gives a step by step, not very useful when it assumes familiarity with
other commands. End up Googling in circles until I give up and go work on an
easer one. (don't worry, I have plenty)
Not sure about the other distros, but Mandrake has plenty of poorly
documented, yet powerful tools that can be run from the graphical. Most of
them would make a nice 15 minute topic. Process management is the one I
open, (then stare at stupidly) most often. Disk Drake (or its RH / SuSe
equivalent) might be a good choice too.
