Installing new software confusion and redundacy

[skube]

As a new user with a fresh set of eyes, one thing I find really confusing is the myriad of ways to go about installing software.

If I open up the menu and start typing: install



I'll be presented with at least 7 different options to choose what to install.

• Install Updates & Install Drivers both kinda make sense and seem appropriate
  
• Install RELEASE however seems out-of-place since I've already installed
  
• Install/Remove Software seems ok and self-explanatory but appears to make the next three options redundant
  
• Run Install offers no clue to what it does
  
• Lite Software seems like it could be a tab within Install/Remove Software
  
• Software & Updates perhaps simply a poor naming choice as it seems like it should be covered with the very first option
  

Of all the options, I would think Install/Remove Software would be the one most would choose. And yet after selecting it, the user is presented with Synaptic Package Manager and a very confusing interface.

If the goal is make using LL easy for anyone, especially someone like mom, then I think this process could be more clear.

Just my opinion though.  :o
