Yes, if you would not mind. But please don't spend much of your time
on it. Obviously, I have yet to ask if my friend would be interested.

Suggested topics for intro to ubuntu (already installed & configured) - happy to adapt this to what people need though).

Installing new apps - intro to Synaptic
Distro Updates
Email (poss. Thunderbird or Evolution)
Intro to OpenOffice (Calc and Writer)
Basics - using console
Browsing web - Googling for advice on Ubuntu
Media Players - media issues
The concept of permissions - logging in as root / user


I think 1/2 day is enough to get people started and cover a range of topics such as these.
