I agree with Thorsten's and Wendy's assessments: I prefer "Getting
Started with Ubuntu 10.04."

"The Ubuntu Manual" sounds comprehensive, detailed, and technical.  I
could see the name attracting a lot of non-beginner users who would
then be disappointed at what they found.  The name also invites scope
creep, an urge to expand beyond our target audience.

"Getting Started" clearly defines the type of material the reader
should expect to find contained with book.  The scope is better
contained: we will only include material required to get started with
Ubuntu.  Finally, the language is friendlier toward our target
audience.
