Comment 10 for bug 504668

The terminal really is a place where only people are really into linux go. The idea of splitting up the book into the two sections is very smart and what is required so that we can give a user a quick overview of everything, keeping in mind that they don't care about a lot of advanced topics. For many people, their Ubuntu box is a media player that does internet stuff, and I think that really is the crowd we are aiming at.

I think Ilya's ch 1-5 make sense, but chapter 6 might be a little crazy. Going over EVERY item in the applications list is crazy, it should be more like selected applications, that are installed by default. I have figure out how to do such commands as sudo apt-get clean from the GUI (using computer janitor) and I also think we need to include backup in the maintenance section. There are plenty of GUI options, and we just need to choose one and roll with it. I propose TimeVault to be used for that.

Now the key is we need to contact all of the current writers of the chapters, and tell them about the new chapter changes (assuming we go through with them) which at this point and time, might be a little hard, but not ridiculous. Because of all the extra media attention we have received, we have the people and some of these chapters seem to be created such that multiple people can work on the same chapter.

My vote is to go for it.
