For a nice, shiny introduction to linux and free software try: http://www.getgnulinux.org/ For a longer introduction to FLOSS, see Linux Australia's guide at: http://www.linux.org.au/linux And their education specific one at: http://www.linux.org.au/education For a more technical and very thorough examination of FLOSS see: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/FLOSS_Concept_Booklet I've also created a leaflet for advocating free software to new users in my area, although it's not yet ready for distribution (I'm not sure if I can use the floating gnu image for starters). But you are free to take whatever is useful from it: http://lucybridges.co.uk/leaflets/ I'm sure there's loads more available online, but those are the ones I could think of right now. -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
