I'm impressed at how friendly ubuntu is too.

If you type "ctags", it comes back and says
"ctags isn't installed. It's in the following packages:
     blah-emacs-blah
     blah-vim-blah
     exuberant-ctags-blah
Type
   sudo apt-get install <package>
to install one of these."

You don't even have to search, if you already know the name, and it's smart 
enough to actually tell you more than the package name, so you're not left 
going "OK, then what?"  That was a pain in the butt on debian.

Open source folks are finally starting to recognize the benefits of user 
friendliness.
