The leaflets from myself are either non Ubuntu specific (but with a 
bias) or are close copies of the Shipit pack information.
For generalised leaflets, a specific link is not really appropriate, 
and the shipit packs have their own direction.

I have often found that really new users - undoubtably windows users - 
are so nervous that a busy and well organised forum, however patient 
and friendly, is often too scary an idea for them until they are more 
committed and have gathered more faith in the open source world 
because they are talking to faceless people. My leaflets point readers 
towards local forums where they have a choice to actually meet people 
if they choose, and I verbally encourage contact with ubuntu forums.
