You're right about the "Desktop" usage here. I think it's unlikely people will differentiate the "Desktop" in this usage as being separate and distinct from a "Laptop." Our other choices come down to things like "Beginning Users Guide," but that is a bad choice because people don't like to classify themselves as being beginners. "Quick Start Guide" would be OK except for the fact that the DUG is too long to fit into that category either. So "DUG" is probably best for now. We can re-evaluate after we get some community feedback, which is probably more likely after publication. -- Paul W.
