Ubuntu Manual Update

The Ubuntu Manual Team has just released the second version of the manual and can be downloaded here. Not much has been added to the manual, but over 300 bugs have been fixed and a new diagram for the file system was created by Benjamin Humphrey.

The Ubuntu Manual project was started by Benjamin Humphrey. It is self-described as a "comprehensive beginners guide for the Ubuntu operating system." It is released under the CC-BY-SA allowing it to be modified under the conditions that it is properly attributed and licensed.
The manual covers tasks as simple as browsing the internet, instant messaging and listening to music to more complex tasks like installing software and using the command line. It is written to be easy to understand by starting with simple tasks and moving to more complex ones. Many screenshots have been to ensure the user knows what to do. This led to the creation of Quickshot, the application used to gather all the required localized screenshots - about 2,500 of them. The manual also includes a troubleshooting section to fix many common problems. The manual has been translated to two other languages, Greek and Dutch, with others on the way.
