Correct, we have to remember that we are aimed at absolute beginners.  As
far as I'm concerned there should be zero terminal stuff in the beginning
section.  The manual it self should be just enough information to make the
user happy, but not have to wade through much.

If we make this manual too dense or unfriendly nobody will want to use it.

I think this is great and should be useful for all content writer/editors. I
also think you have some good points about our target audience that should
be kept in mind, especially for those of us who have been using Ubuntu for
some time where many tasks have become second nature. Keeping it accessible
to those completely fresh to the OS, or those who are less 'tech-savvy' is
important.

Perhaps once we have consensus on how code will be included, it could be
added to this page as well.
