Since the Dashboard is eminently useless on first install (it's not as
though you have comments to track, or care about WordPress development
news), why not put some kind of welcome message there?

if (!get_settings('show_welcome')
// show dashboard ...
else

This a quick mockup of what I mean, though presumably it would be
rewritten by someone who actually knows what users want. :)
