    Hello, I'm writing a complete guide on installing & setting up ubuntu(includes other 'buntus) & would like to see what, you, the community wants to see.
    Also, if anyone is interested in proof reading & helping me out there(I have 2 versions, n00b friendly & non-n00b friendly).
    Thanks! This is much appreciated!

    I like the no-nonsense approach of it. It gives me what i want, without any extra clutter. Post both version downloads so everyone can see how both of them are. Add a poll too.
