Description

both linux and the xfce desktop are new to many users, so some links to getting started docs from the main help page would be useful.

(thanks for the tip Eric)

also we should add a few paragraphs to that page stating how to connect to a samba remote shared network drive. I think we've already got the needed software on the disc, we just have to explain how to use it and perhaps add it to our list of things to test before release.

IIRC think Alex had some problems with samba(?), but for me it worked fine, ...shrug

It might be as simple as typing smb://servername/path/to/files/ into the Thunar file manager GUI.

I added a couple of links and a PDF ebook to doc/en/quickstart/osgeolive_quickstart.rst

  • the xfce wiki help is pretty thin
  • No two ways about it,  http://ubuntu-manual.org is gorgeous
  • any good links to "Getting started with the Xfce desktop" and "Getting started with Linux" would be appreciated. Free e-books we can ship are best.
