I've plumped for Ubuntu 11.04 and Unity on my friend's Dads laptop. I figured this was the best choice given the future direction of Ubuntu, and I can support him because I use it myself.
As part of the PC build for my friend's Dad I've decided to write a short guide to Ubuntu / Unity for him. The goal is to cover the basics that a brand new user would need to know. It will include screenshots and a few website links for more info. I'd like to hope I can get this into only a few pages. Again I've got an etherpad document I've started to gather thoughts. http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/SimpleGuide I'm not at all interested in discussions about the technicalities of how I'll be writing it but for reference I'll do this in LibreOffice as a simple document and will spit it out as a PDF in his home directory and give him a printed copy. I' I'm happy to share what I've done if people want it. Suggestions for topics to cover welcome here or on etherpad. Cheers, Al. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
