Ubuntu Documentation - Getting Started

[Phill Whiteside]

Hi Guys and Gals,

Just a very minor comment, if the page
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phillw/temp_Manual gets much longer it may be worth
considering splitting it. I recently split
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Activities/JIC into
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Activities It really does depend on the
finished length, but may be worth considering. If you decide to have it
split, I'm happy to do so for you while I'm still in 'split up large pages'
mode :)

Regards,

Phill.

P.S. and before any one ponders... JIC == Just In Case (Old habit of naming
backups :D )
