[plug] Updated Lesson 1 - for Introduction to Computersand Linux Manual

[David Buddrige]

Hi all,

My reasoning for posting updates about the Documentation project to the
PLUG list was I thought it'd be of interest to fellow PLUG'ers... while it is
part of the ComputerBank Project, this particular element is developing a set
of training manuals for Introducing Newbies to Linux and Computing geneal
concepts (The plan is to write up more advanced manauls once the intro manual
has been done that will assume the reader has done the intro manual).   I had
therefore thought that it'd be of general interest to PLUG'ers.

There are heaps of ComputerBank specific posts that I have not posted to
PLUG for the simple reason that they are specific to the  Computer BAnk
project.

I don't mind posting/not posting.

Shall I continue to Update Pluger's on when new revisions of the intro-manual
come out (I thought it'd be useful to some of our newbie members)

Perhaps we can vote on it?  Or does the prez want to make the call on it?

Let me know and I'll abide by whatever the majority decision is. 8-)

cheers

David Buddrige 8-)
