Newbies would be ill-advised to start off with Jessie, IMHO.  Stable 
is a better place to start, especially if the putative newbie has no 
help.  

Newbies (Windows refugees, not Fedora refugees) are also more likely I 
would have thought to be installing with a DVD or USB key than with 
the net install CD.  And many people like Xfce4.
