Two newbie questions

The admin guide is still a work in progress for Dapper. The said guide
was deferred halfway during Breezy development so the guide was
dropped and only available in the svn.

Have you checked out the GNOME User Guide? While its not updated, it
has the basic GNOME use stuff.

I did some slides in OOo2 Impress a while back for a mini
talk/tutorial I did to a local University. It's a basic GNOME
introdcution, how to navigate your way through the interface and basic
office use scenarios. I can publish that this weekend and release it
in a relevant license for other people to use as well.
