Nice to have plenty documentation to start with. The Ubuntu documentation would be enough though, including the forums and the Wiki, the problem is not this but the fact newbies prefer not to "waste" time on reading, but asking simple questions directly into the forums.

Hmmm, not many will agree with you. I've seen a lot of "experts" replying to newbies saying: "Read the faqs before posting"...

....... the problem is not this but the fact newbies prefer not to "waste" time on reading, but asking simple questions directly into the forums.

This is SO true (I did it myself in the past :) )
Also this is why this forum is better than the rest, because instead of saying RTFM, we can post links to other threads and also politely bring to their attention the Stickys, Search and also put links in our "sigs".
