I question this one. I honestly know incredibly few "new users" or
even Linux users that know about or use the locate command. I've been
using Linux since 1996 and I have only used locate a few times since
then.
As a Linux refugee, Blastwave's findutils is one of the first things I
add to a fresh SXCE. I had dinner with some Debian admins last night,
and when I asked them what they meant by the "user-unfriendliness of
Solaris", the missing 'locate' was one of the first things they thought of.
'glocate' is incredibly useful in finding your way around an unfamiliar
system... especially when the binary you're looking for could be in any
number of /usr/*/bin directories.
A very small point - I liked the rest of your post.
Cheers
