Are new users added automatically to the sudoers file? If so, I'd recommend sudoing the apt-get command above, rather than doing it as root. 2) This new user's experience suggests that the Debian installer isn't very good for new users. I might suggest that users get a three-option prompt at their first screen: "I am a beginning user", "I am an intermediate user", or "I am an advanced user." Beginning users wouldn't have to type anything else, except their desired username and password. All other questions would get default answers.
