I like your list, though I was expecting something a little more in-depth. One thing, though, /home/ is more of a combination of My Documents and %userpath% rather than just My Documents on most distros I’ve seen…though I have seen a couple addin “/home//(My )Documents”

The biggest issues for new Linux users that come from Windows are: program installation and flash/media codecs. So write a bit about package managers and where they can be found in each of the popular distros (Ubuntu,Fedora,OpenSuse,Mandriva,etc)
