OK, so this is a little bit of mindless self-promotion, but... :P
I've put together a printable two-sided guide to installing software under Ubuntu. It's aimed at the absolute beginner to Ubuntu, perhaps a switcher from Windows. It details how to download and install software from the Add/Remove Applications method as well as downloading .deb packages manually and installing them that way.
You can take a look and download the guide (PDF, OpenDocument, HTML) from http://fosswire.com/2008/07/15/printable-g...ware-on-ubuntu/
