I think the new structure is good, and seems to progress in an intuitive way. Ie starting with an explanation of the installation process, to navigating your new system and it's default layout/software, to slowly learning how to configure and set it up to the way you want, add more programs, and then get into more advanced stuff.

My only comment would be is that the old chapter 7 - introduction to the terminal - had some advanced stuff in it, even for an 'advanced' section of a beginners manual. Will a beginner really need to know how to use virtual terminals? Even manipulating files (which can be done GUI quite effectively) might be unnecessary. Just a thought but I think keeping it simple would be ideal.

At the end of the day, we could probably throw around ideas regarding tweaks to the structure for weeks. Sure it's important to get it right, but at some stage we need to settle on it and move on, or we will never get content written in time! Good work guys and +1 from me.
