Getting Started with Ubuntu 10.04

Getting Started with Ubuntu 10.04 is a complete beginner's manual for Ubuntu, featuring comprehensive guides, How Tos and information on anything you need to know after first installing Ubuntu.

Designed to be as user-friendly and easy to follow as possible, it provides the first point of reference to any Ubuntu newcomer with lots of information in one easy to access PDF file. Every six months we intend to produce a new revision -- a new release to coincide with each new release of Ubuntu.

The manual is written and maintained by the Ubuntu Manual Team, a group of volunteers striving to improve Ubuntu education by creating quality, up-to-date and consistent learning materials and documentation.

The team has a website where lots of information can be found along with a copy of the manual.
