Re: Installing Firefox

 

Oh no. Far from that, I do expect our number of users to grow very rapidly.
But I mean, seriously, it isn't that difficult for 'human beings' to add or
remove packages if they have the *right* package name. If they're already
in Ubuntu, they probably already know the basics.

Also, we could as you said provide quick tutorials, but most of all, it
would leave some room for true improvements and *choice* for each user to
build on his own liking and experience.
