The Ubuntu OOBE Idea

[Mike Edwards]

Jonathan,

I think this is a great idea.  One of the things I was frustrated with as a
new Ubuntu user was, "what do I do now."  And I think having this screen to
let users know what apps are installed and how to get other apps will help
significantly.

The screen needs to have an easy way to exit.  I hate the *Welcome* screen
in Windows XP, because it doesn't offer a one-click exit for those of us who
have installed it dozens of times.

This is definitely on the right track.
