In the previous article, our computer newbie family, Mike, Diane, Mary and Carla, had decided they wanted GNU/Linux installed on the new family/business computer. Debian, via Libranet 2.0, was installed on the system, with appropriate business/office software, as well as the Gnome desktop environment. The next steps involved getting the system configured for easy use and adding various minor tweaks. Mike, Diane and the kids were not involved during the configuration phase of the system.

While you are obviously a great tutor, until we find out how well the family continues with the distro on their own I feel we won't really be learning anything from this.
Yes I understand the need that completely newbies do need to have their hands held (especially during installation) and do need to be given a run-through of how to do things, but until we see how well they get on by themselves we won't know how successful this has been.
I hope there is more to come, so don't take this as a "bad" comment or anything of the sort, I'm just typing my view.
