Our goal is to cover the basics of Ubuntu (such as installation and working with the desktop) as well as hardware and software management, working with the command line, and security. We designed this guide to be simple to follow, with step-by-step instructions and plenty of screenshots, allowing you to discover the potential of your new Ubuntu system.

Please bear in mind that this guide is still very much a work in progress and always will be. It is written specifically for Ubuntu 11.10, and although we have aimed to not limit our instructions to this version, it is unavoidable that some things will change over the life of Ubuntu. Whenever a new version of Ubuntu is released, we will incorporate updates and changes into our guide, and make a new version available at \url{http://www.ubuntu-manual.org}.

\emph{Getting Started with Ubuntu 11.10} is not intended to be a comprehensive Ubuntu instruction manual. It is more like a quick-start guide that will get you doing the things you need to do with your computer quickly and easily, without getting bogged down with technical details. As with prior versions, Ubuntu 11.10 incorporates many new features, including enhancements to the Unity shell. More about the Unity shell and what it means can be found in \chaplink{ch:the-ubuntu-desktop}.

The Internet is also an excellent resource. For example, on \url{https://help.ubuntu.com} you will find documentation on installing and using Ubuntu, and at the Ubuntu Forums (ubuntuforums.org) you find answers to many Ubuntu related questions. \marginnote{More information about Ubuntu's online and system documentation can be found in \chaplink{ch:learning-more}. Popular forums for Ubuntu discussion and support are the Ubuntu Forums, \url{http://ubuntuforums.org}, and Askubuntu at \url{http://askubuntu.com}.}
