I'll update the pages that refer to Ubuntu Linux and commit them
firsthand to beat the freeze (although the changes are not meant to be
final).

In the daily builds, About Ubuntu shows Yelp instead of the browser.
But previous work was done by the art team and not the docteam. What
would be the final decision on About Ubuntu?

Its best to file in bugzilla for record purposes.

It's basically 3 docs at most. About Ubuntu, Quick Tour (yet to be
uploaded by Corey) and the FAQ Guide. We're just polishing up the FAQ
Guide and it should be ready by Documentation Freeze but it can be
included in the preview release if needed.
