strange, i know about 50 or more users that were not familiar with ubuntu/debian/linux
which found it quite usefull, you probably should attend #ubuntu on
irc.freenode.net and watch it a while.....

no, the right way would be to make it just work.....

given you _really_ read the howto and used the nice capability of html 
to link pages to other pages you'll know in the end how to use synaptic and 
what universe is... ;)

anyway, it's a wiki page, so you're able to edit it to your needs if you
dont like it, go on, everybody here appreciates if the documentation is
improved.

:)
