I personally think it is better to accompany and show people how to install Ubuntu step by step rather than installing it for them, not only this will make them know a bit more about their computer but also enable them to do the same for others or at least for themselves should the need arise. Better but not easier task.
Thanks to good people at makeuseof, now we have a great Ubuntu e-guide that will help us explain better or when we really don't have the time we can send this book over.

This pdf covers almost everything you should know about Ubuntu, from partitioning to tweaking Ubuntu. A must have for every Ubuntu users.
