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.

If you want to be able to easily get software for Linux, take a page from the Apple playbook and establish a program whereby software titles are burned to CD(s) in the store.
Pick an OS distro, pick a software bundle, wait maybe 10 minutes while you do some other shopping, come back, hand the cashier your credit card, pick up your CD(s) in attractive jewel case(s), and leave.
