Most likely not. If I turned somebody on to Ubuntu that wasn't a  
stranger on the street, I would be forced to admit to myself that most  
likely *I* will become the main support resource, which will probably  
end up with me posting to forums/IRC/lists. At least until such time  
as  they are educated enough to be more self sufficient.
