My apologies Corey, I'm not great with mailing lists... and thunderbird
seems puts the 'to' field as recipient when 'reply to sender' is
selected... odd.
Anyway, for the rest of you:

Why are we mentioning the codecs issue at all? There is no need to.
We are trying to get them excited about Ubuntu, not worried.
Why mention them? If we dont, arent these people are going to install
the cd and expect it to work like Windows.
Since codecs for mp3s et al arent included, they dont work by default
like (most) do under windows and I'm sure they'd be real excited with
Ubuntu when they try it, if they weren't warned.
They're going to expect things to be as automated as possible, and
unless i'm remembering wrong, firefox doesn't install the flash plugin
automagically, just gives a button and says 'manual install'. Things
like that.
They're not going to understand right away how awesome apt (and it's
GUIs) are, nor even fully understand the 'add/remove' thing.
It's just how I see things, thinking back retrospectively to when I
started.
So what do the rest of you think? Should we be honest, and offer
idiot-friendly ways to solve the issue or should we hide the fact that
some things need tweaking and let the newbie find out, while praying
they don't feel conned?
