Though it's nice to get feedback on the web site and documentation.
Maybe we (we??) could link a "feedback" page on the web pages that are
not editable by the public... this feedback page could let readers to
submit bug reports at:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-website/+filebug
when something is missing.

I think too that in [1], we need to clarify the difference between 6.06
and 6.10 better. Something like: "6.10 has the latest software but it
does not benefit from Long Term Support (aka LTS) that 6.06 has: 6.06 is
supported for security fixes for 3 years on the Desktop, and 5 years on
the server; in contrast, 6.10 is supported for only 1,5 years. In
addition, 6.10 may be more buggy than 6.06. If you are new to Linux, you
might prefer to use 6.06." In this way, the user now knows what the
benefits and disadvantages are, and if s/he cannot decide, we tell
her/him what to do as well...

Scroll down on this page: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop (linked from the
main page www.ubuntu.com)
There is also a detailed list of packages included here (which, maybe,
we should link to in the web site as well, while being careful that we
aren't cheating with distrowatch's stats):
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntu and scroll down.

PS. Let me know if you'd rather prefer these suggestions as bug reports
at launchpad.

Or (though you might like Rodin) you might as well avoid "The Gates of
Hell" and use Linux.
