Hi Osama,

I disagree that the term "GNU/Linux" isn't confusing. Try asking a few non-technical computer users their opinion. We can't rely on users having read "about-ubuntu" either - most users look at the documentation to find a small snippet of information and then stop reading. Very few read the whole documentation. It is best for individual topics to stand alone without requiring any detailed preparatory reading.

Also, I don't think that the aim of our user documentation should be to encourage people to learn more about Linux. Rather, it should be to provide users with answers to their problems. User assistance must always take preference over evangelism.
