I've been doing a lot of research today and I agree that the welcome centre should have a big focus on how to install software as this seems to be the biggest issue for most new users.

Also, I'd clearly state what are links and that those links will open in a browser window. Plus, the network needs to be configured first. Would it be possible to incorporate the normal Xfce Settings Manager? And perhaps a button that'll open Synaptic? I took ages for me to find out I could use Synaptic to install stuff.<div> <div>On 11/8/06, Cody Somerville <<a href="mailto:cody.somerville@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> cody.somerville@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I just put it together last night while watching the election stuff on TV. <g> <div> <div>On 11/8/06, Adam Miller <<a href="mailto:maxamillion@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> maxamillion@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I like it alot, I think that would be a great asset to new Xubuntu users. Lets take steps towards making sure it is ready for 6.10.1 (if there is going to be such a thing) or atleast for feisty. Does it already exist and just needs customization for Xubuntu or do we need to write it from the ground up? .... I'm not entirely familiar with the "Welcome Center" concept, a link with details would be greatly appreciated. -Adam<div> <div>On 11/8/06, Jelle de Jong <<a href="mailto:jelledejong@powercraft.nl" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> jelledejong@powercraft.nl</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Looks good, nice idea. The Xfld cd has something similair to. Maybe some more links to general howto's and forums? Cody Somerville wrote: > > Hey, > > What do you guys think of a "Welcome Centre" for Xubuntu?
