Indeed. Edit /etc/skel/.bashrc, /etc/bashrc or what have you to include the 
following line:

alias rm='rm -i'

Personally, I remove this alias on any system I use because I find it 
annoying, but it's a risk I'm willing to take. This is yet another tip which 
may be dangerous to newbies.

So much for guru status.

Secondly, extra copies of Quest For Herring or Unreal Liniment (R)
might stub for Quake III.  Maybe toss a mirror of munition on that
disc to fill it up; maybe desktop themes.  Speaking of which, does
Linux Central put the themes on CDs, or only have 'em online (since
there's so much copyrighted materiel!  Buffy, Copyright Infringement
Slayer?)
