Actually, only “Alt-F7″ is required for this. The Ctrl is unnecessary.

Certainly not for average non-savvy-comp moms and girlfriends. For all the rest: great sheet. People are able to think. Whoevers not able to think and learn how to help themself really has a problem nowadays. Great stuff Jacob!

Where did that go? Better remove the "Beginner" and replace it by "Admin" or something. My mom shouldnt have to know about this and she certainly would be an Ubuntu Beginner. Linux for human beings?

Better remove the “Beginner” and replace it by “Admin” or something. My mom shouldnt have to know about this and she certainly would be an Ubuntu Beginner.

Perhaps to networking, add "/etc/dbus*/event*/25Network* restart" to kick network-manager in the pants. The "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" will no longer work -- X is configured via XRandR now. As imbrandon says, "dist-upgrade" should be "upgrade with possible replacements" or something similar. And, since I'm such a security junkie, I'd just leave out the (dangerous?) examples of running root-priv file browsers. But I'm just paranoid. I would change “apt-get remove” to “apt-get purge”.
