Yes, if you would not mind. But please don't spend much of your time
on it. Obviously, I have yet to ask if my friend would be interested.

Many thanks
Suggested topics for intro to ubuntu (already installed &
configured) - happy to adapt this to what people need though).
Installing new apps - intro to Synaptic
Distro Updates
Email (poss. Thunderbird or Evolution)
Intro to OpenOffice (Calc and Writer)
Basics - using console
Browsing web - Googling for advice on Ubuntu
Media Players - media issues
The concept of permissions - logging in as root / user
I think 1/2 day is enough to get people started and cover a range of
topics such as these.

Viv,
One subject which still gives me trouble is filing in Linux. The
A,B,C...disks suit me so I am
finding it very difficult to get used to Linux file system which IMHO
is very illogical. Do you
or any other member have a simple guide to Linux filing system?
