Thanks! This is a lot better (but could still do better, IMHO).

No problem. As always, there's room for improvement. There is a
dedicated gnome-doc-list for discussing documentation issues as well
as gnome-web-list. I would imagine they'd appreciate comments and
ideas for improvement.

How was I supposed to have found this link? Is it on the front page,
or deep inside the hierarchy?

I found it a few ways. One is following the about gnome link and then
the why choose gnome link, which points out the documentation. The
more direct route is to follow the support link at the top of the
page. Documentation is the first item mentioned there.

If you can, installing or playing with a live cd might be a good way
to get into the system and find out how suitable it is for the users
at the computer lab. Qemu or VMware are good for testing new
installations without messing up your current workstation.
