Hello everyone
this very usefull
Brochure "About Ubuntu"
You bring up news around Ubuntu takes quite some time. But it also
happens that I was directly contacted and I am always a huge pleasure.
Today is Aurélien Paulus [1] I reported the existence of a booklet
called "About Ubuntu" [2].
Learn (or do know) Ubuntu with this mini 6-page illustrated and
in color. Designed for Linux and other groups of users of free
software, this document contains everything that should or want to
know the curious who want to embark on the Ubuntu experience. GNU /
Linux desktop environment, Linux distributions, Open Office, Firefox,
comparison of the requirements techinque ... all concepts are
explained step by step. This document is not intended to replace the
official documentation, on the contrary, it directs the reader to it
through links (printable) and explanations for identifying problems
and how to proceed.
Printer Friendly (3 pages 6 A4 or A3), and illustrated in color,
in a seller but honest to content, the document created with Scribus
will be updated with each new version of Ubuntu.
This document was created with Scribus and is dual licensed under
GNU / FDL and Creative Commons BY-SA.
This brochure has been translated into English and Dutch version is
coming soon. You are welcome to support this project and if you master
another language do not hesitate to invest. This booklet will be
re-updated with each new version of Ubuntu.
