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.

hand the newbie a linux cd and a computer and watch through the one way glass?
in real life you buy a windows or apple computer with the OS already installed and optimized. then if you are a newbie you get training on how to use a computer.
this is what is going on people, not "guru sits down and becomes personal secritary of newbie" which is what you seem to think is going on.
