A lot of care would also have to be taken to avoid confusing the new user, which could be done very easily. I think it would also be necessary to state at the beginning the steps involved, i.e. choose distro, installation, otherwise there is a danger that a user will take one look and come to the conclusion that there's loads to do, it sounds complicated, and they won't bother.
