Dapper will have a new install system: Ubuntu-express, no ? But that's
not something like windows, that's something far far far better

A noob never uses console.

What about using Synaptic instead of clicking on files ? Ubuntu is not
like windows, on ubuntu installing programs is *easy* you don't need to
click on files. Don't download packages from websites, everything is
already included in ubuntu ! Just search in synaptic.

If you don't want to remember console commands, just don't use
console... If something is impossible without console there is 2
raisons:
1) It is not something a noob needs.
2) This is a feature missing in the UI and so open a bug-report.
