Perhaps it should be one of the bootup choices of the install
CD.  If the user doesn't type anything for a while the system
boots up in a game.  May be a new game where "scrolls" are
hints on how to use various OS components.  The user finds
them, reads them and applies them to solve puzzles.  May be
a cross between rogue and Physicus and Lego Mindstorm....

And you thought you were joking.
