I am really hard-pressed choosing one of all these interesting titles. My own preference would be for one of the chapters of the ``FreeBSD on the Desktop'' part, i.e. the introductory one: ``FreeBSD on the Desktop'' I'll let the rest of the freebsd-doc team choose too though. Whatever the majority of us prefers is also the one I will support as a choise :) Regards, Giorgos *********************************************************************** This email may contain confidential material.
