Matthew: Such section is still there: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/about-ubuntu/C/index.html
Unless I'm wrong, those documents are included in the documentation that ships Ubuntu (I'm not sure, I use Kubuntu).
By the way, on https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/about-ubuntu/C/about-linux.html you mention the Linux kernel and link to its website, but I think it's irrelevant for newcomers; I think www.getgnulinux.org would be really useful for them.
