As I mentioned in previous questions I am setting up a computer lab for a charity that deals with orphans in Tanzania Africa. One thing that would be very helpful are eBook/PDF guides for Ubuntu software. Keep in mind some of the kids have never used a computer, so what is basic for us is foreign for them. We will be running: LibreOffice, Inkscape, Gimp, Gnucash, Audacity, Scribus, VLC, Blender, Pidgin, ClamAV, VirtualBox, Wine, Firefox, Chrome, Thunderbird, 7zip, OpenShot Video Editor. Please let me know about any guides about using Ubuntu itself or other software you feel would be helpful. Brendon

If it matters for you: the book, unfortunately, is not available in Swahili.
