I think lots of distros is a good thing but I think that they could help themselves by doing some basic consumer marketing on their websites for new users trying to make a choice or just make it plain and simple that they only cater to Linux users who already know what they are doing..
To make the leap from new user to advanced user we need more general tutorials and training material -- more "schooling", not just technical articles and advice on various arcane aspects of Linux.
Well, the extremists say you have to contribute code to be useful, I think that documentation is a great thing for us non-programmers to work on. As I transition from beginner to advanced user I hope I can make this kind of contribution.
Learn about Linux
Download Linux
Get Linux help
I agree....
