I disagree. Most guides out there for ubuntu involve terminal commands.
Commands that say things like this?
sudo apt-get install foo
Yeah. That's because it's easier and faster to write that than say 'Click System | Administration | Synaptic Package Manager.' Click the 'Search' button and type 'foo' and hit enter. Right click the 'foo-1.0' package and click 'Install'. When prompted, enter your password.
How about some official reference page like howto install . Easy to link and you can explain some command line there if one really needs to. Common tasks should be very well explained, IMHO.
