I actually wanted to welcome this, but when I checked it out I was
just left wondering what you were trying to deliver ? Was it a guide
for first timers or adding more masala to Gutsy in the name of fixing
it ? I won't actually suggest using wine, adobe reader, msfonts and
nonfree-flash. I am not sure whether doing this is any good for a
first time user. Rather we should show him how free alternatives that
by default we have in Ubuntu to be an equal option for them to
consider using. Personally I wouldn't not suggest anyone to use non
free things until and unless there is no other way out :)
