It sure sounds interesting. Thanks for the offer :-)

All of these chapters look interesting. 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
