Mike,

   Automount is only important if the user has more than one computer.  Beginners usually do not.  I would not worry about it much.

   A non-computer friend of mine has bought a computer and asked me about running Linux.  I recommended the Red Hat Linux Bible with the latest available Fedora distribution.  The primary advantage of this is the 1000 page manual that comes with the software.  A lot of ignorance can be managed if you can RTFM.
