Sorry I missed that. Just wanted to throw in the historical bit on naming around content for this target audience. The term 'desktop' has a lot of different meanings. If I have a laptop, does this book apply to me? What if it's an OLPC XO running Fedora? Or a thin client at my school? It looks like a desktop because it has a keyboard, mouse, and monitor, but it may not even have a visible tower ... The term 'user' is also ambiguous, but more inclusive. So, while renaming is still under discussion, and in light of the tighter audience definitions made so far, is there a "better" or even a "best" term to throw in there? Fedora User Guide Fedora Desktop Guide Fedora Computer User Guide Guide to Using Fedora How to Use Fedora Making Fedora Work for You As techies, we get caught up in the "Product * Guide" naming scheme. What is different that isn't just stealing titles from existing books? On the last note -- we should refer to some nice documentation that says how to use a mouse and such. That is, we need to fit above the level of total computer basics. - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener http://quaid.fedorapeople.org AD0E0C41
