Ubuntu Documentation - Getting Started

[Phill Whiteside]

Yikes!

I just clicked on that link without really paying attention... It's still
in my sand box area?!!!!  I'd really appreciate it if you good people could
give this a push as I also know that a request has come in via:

If there is any other 'wiki' stuff you good people need doing, please feel
free to shout. As I understood, it was 'good to go' and I was just awaiting
the 'okay' to transfer it from the sandbox area to be the 'live' area.

Regards,

Phill.
