Re: The Title

 

The Ubuntu Manual: Get Started with Ubuntu 10.04/Lucid Lynx
The Ubuntu Manual: Get Started with Lucid Lynx
The Ubuntu Manual: Getting Started with Lucid Lynx
Ubuntu-Manual: Get Started with Ubuntu
Guide - Get Started with Ubuntu

maybe start a poll on it. Or someone be the big shot and just decide. don't let this steal to much time, even thou its extremely important.
