This offer will be restricted to Europe, Middle East and Africa. The CD includes free support through online resources as well as paid support through Canonical, the developer of Ubuntu."

    I think that GNOME is a nice transition for somebody who has never used Linux before. If they're "copying a full recursive subdir from FTP" or even if they're into it enough to want to change their PDF reader (xPDF being the default), they will know enough to be able to install KDE. There are plenty of reasons to criticize GNOME, but this doesn't make much sense in context.
