Hi Ned,

Thanks for your suggestions, that's exactly what we want! I'll be sure to incorporate them into the Desktop Guide in the near future. The desktop guide is based off the Starter Guide that was released with Breezy, so it may still contain references to Breezy until we nab them all in the bud :).

As Matt mentioned, do check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam and also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocteamGettingStarted if your keen on getting involved, if you've ever done anything with HTML you will be right at home with XML. 

Oh, and sorry for the top post. I'm stuck at work currently..

Cheers,

Robert Stoffers
Maintainer/Author - Ubuntu Starter Guide

Hi folks :-)

This is my first attempt at helping so please bear with me if this isn't exactly what you want.

Source:  http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/ch01.html

    * reference to "Mandrake" - I think it is now called Mandriva

    * suggestion to remove "a cent" from The Cost section thus making            the statement universal

    * Conflicting version information:

        "Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu Linux 6.04 -- our Dapper             Drake release."

        "The next release (Breezy Badger), the one for which this                         document was written, will be in October 2005, so its version                 number will be 5.10."

    * erroneous "could" in the following

       "Another method of obtaining Ubuntu is to join a local Linux                   Users Group (LUG) and ask if somebody could has a copy and               would not mind duplicating it. Normally, you will have to                           replace the CDs used for the duplication and reimburse any                   postage or delivery costs."

    * "an" should be "a" in the following

        If you do not know of an LUG near you,
