Description
When someone new installs ubuntu, kubuntu or xbuntu, brainstorm should be introduced and also made readily available.

I first suggested putting it in the Aps menu but no one liked the idea. So think of a better place to put it. The general idea is sound. More ideas coming in especially from new users. This is how to make ubuntu extremely easy to use. And you enhance the feeling of personal control, something the Windows users don't have. And thats how you speed the migration from XP and Vista.

I'm not sure where would be the best place, but brainstorm should be introduced to the new user ASAP so that they are more in touch with the very idea linux; community development. Stop thinking like elitist tekkies!

Nah, then you get dumbass people who come here with their dumbass ideas and ask for stuff that already exists, or asks to change stuff to resemble what their accustomed to.

"Make the button say Start", "Make so you can run all software that you can run in Windows", "Make so you can have MSN, AOL, CometCursor and BonziBuddy!", "I miss my spyware!".

19 out of 20 ideas will be dumbass as it is. Mine included. You have to dig through a ton of dirt to get a nugget of gold.

Thats life.

Almost forgot.

If people are asking for stuff that already exists then the User Interface and Intro needs to be improved.
