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

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.
