Agreed. That would be the best way for a total new user to try out  
Linux, and that is a good point. Although, that still doesn't address 
the fact one of my major complaints about Ubuntu's documentation was 
that I have been using Linux distributions since the late 90's on and 
off, so I wasn't a complete new user to Linux, but I was clueless as to 
how to install and setup Ubuntu in particular. All I was looking for was 
some documentation on the web site or somewhere easy to find so I could 
read what needed to be done to get it installed successfully and 
hopefully on my own. Fortunately, we have the
ubuntu.com/access
ppage which is a good starting point for this purpose.
