3x Ubuntu in the news

[Christian Jensen]

Well, about time to start a couple of new threads in here ;-)

The first MEPIS based on Ubuntu has been released:
http://www.mepis.org/node/9601
"Warren Woodford, founder of MEPIS, commented on the work so far, "The 
MEPIS community has been very helpful with suggestions and the support 
from the Ubuntu Project has been great. By the time we've identified a 
problem, usually they have already fixed it! This gives us more time to 
work on integration and improvements. It was a big plus that Ubuntu 
recently decided to support KDE 3.5.2 for the current build cycle."

A new Ubuntu user's experience (blogging about starting with Ubuntu)
http://newbuntu.starqmf.com/?p=3
"My name is Lee Thorn, I’m a 21 year old Windows user from London, 
England and I’m about to install and use ubuntu, my first real linux 
experience.

I’ve started this blog to document my struggles and victories with the 
world of linux. As I said this is my first real linux experience, I 
installed fedora core once before about 2 years ago and that lasted all 
of 3 hours before I got rid so bear with me as I’m pretty much new to 
all of this."

Cant remember if this one have been posted:
10 page Windows to Ubuntu transition guide
http://pcmech.com/show/os/917/ (popup alert!)
"Alright, so you have successfully installed Ubuntu Linux, but now what 
do you do with it? You are in the right place. I am going to get you 
started with a guide on how to use your new Ubuntu system. This 
transition guide is targeted at existing Windows users and will show you 
how to do program installations, a little system configuration, but 
primarily highlight some Windows "replacement" programs for common 
applications you can't live without. This guide's intent is to introduce 
you to equivalent programs to what you are accustomed to and, hopefully, 
to cover a good amount of what you might want in a new install. I am 
basing the content on what I have personally experienced, email feedback 
from my installation article, questions from the PC Mech Forums, and 
common topics from the Ubuntu Forums. Hopefully this will answer a lot 
of questions you may have before you ever have them."
