One thing that is overlooked again and again is an easy package management tool, to install 3rd party applications etc
I am a Xandros Beta tester and they have something in the works that is basically a graphical front end to Debians apt-get, and let me tell you, IT WORKS AMAZING. my girlfriend was able to install mozilla then uninstall it later, and she even commented about how it actually uninstalled something, unlike the windows world.
I hear that mandrake has a similar program in their lastest verion, this should be a standard accross all distros
