Hi there, If you've got a minute I'd like some help with a small project I am working on.
I've started writing a small (50 or so pages) manual entitled "The Beginners Guide to Ubuntu" - similar to the likes of the Ubuntu Bible by Olly Connelly. My plan is to make is easy to read and follow, informative but simple at the same time, and most importantly I am going to attempt to make it version independent so that it isn't completely redundant after six months. I will release a new revision each time a new version of Ubuntu comes out, but I'd like to keep the changes to a minimum. I'm providing a brief history of Ubuntu and Linux as well. Of course I will include all the basics, such as installation, around the desktop, how to use Software Center and some basic command line stuff.
I would like to ask you this question:
Think back to when you first installed Ubuntu and began using it. What are some things that you would like to see in a manual of this kind that would have helped you back then?
Post your replies in this thread, or feel free to PM them to me.
Many thanks!
