About Best of the Ubuntu Community Forums Tutorials

(logo)

This project provides tutorials and guides from the Ubuntu Community Forums readable on the desktop in the Yelp browser. The eventual goal is to provide a package in Universe for users to have access to all the best how-to and tutorials from the community forums. This will also be a good tool for those that don't always have a Internet connection. This package will supplement the Ubuntu System documentation.
