The biggest issue will be what happens when our newbie plugs his/her digital camera in, will it work? is it hard to use. Trust me .. command line will really cause an issue here. Then it will be adding some new software.
The best answer to this seems to be Project Utopia.
In case anyone wants to have a play with this, Fedora Core 2 users can check out J5's http://people.redhat.com/johnp/hardware_discovery.html. I believe "sudo apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.5-k7 udev hal gnome-volume-manager" works in Debian too.
There's an interview with RML (http://arstechnica.com/etc/linux/love-interview-1.html) that explains Utopia in laymans terms as well.
