The New to Ubuntu Handbook


A working group originating with Ubuntu Toronto with members for across Canada


Create a letter size page (two sided) CD liner note for installing and setting up Ubuntu.The language has to be understood by a person who has some prior knowledge of computers but no prior Linux experience.

The handbook will be folded and inserted into a paper CD jacket that could be taped to the cardboard sleeve that Ubuntu 6.06 LTS discs come in. The two sided printing and using the paper sleeve is envionmentally friendly and can be done in-house without contracting out. The size restrictions will prove a challenge but it is nothing that cannot be overcome.
