What the heck does those jpegs have to do with "Assistant to post-installation?"
And dark default theme? You want to kick non-teenagers to Fedora or what?

OK, next time you'll be less lazy and try to describe your idea. What are we supposed to understand?

It's ok, but it could be way better. Don't have most lines start with "install blabla" and offer a basic description about the packages.

And by the way, there is no way to install mp3, rar, ... file support without paying some fee to the some companies...
-1 for legal issues.

Please edit your description.
Say something like:
(start)
This idea is to help Ubuntu Users set up their PC soon after an installation.
It is optional - The user can use it or by-pass it on installation.
All the commonly needed Tweaks are available for immediate adjustment.
The user doesn't have top go and look for the information at different forums and websites.
It is also available for use at any time in future, as an icon from the desktop and/or Menu=>System=>(Just Below Help)"Tweaks" ,
OR
Menu=>Applications=>(Just Below Add/Remove)"Tweaks"
OR somewhere else (e.g. gnome Control Center).
(end)
Good Idea.
Suggestions like this have been made before, but these images should help sell the idea.
Ideas for:
Additional features you might like to add -
1) Use a "module" approach so that new features can be added in future, without requiring a whole re-write. Or if the program that is suggested for use gets changed.
2) Have a feature that allows the user to send the info of their choices, back to Ubuntu for gathering stats on what things users are wanting to tweak for soon after installation.
3) Using the web page format for layout (it's all about web links for downloads - mostly), it is easy to use alternative style sheets.
On the other hand, if its designed like a window in the OS, then it would naturally take on the same styling as the user's operating system.
4) Ask Ubuntu to look after a feedback system so users can report any new features (as the OS develops in future), which they think could/should be added.
And build that request/suggest feature into the system as another module.
