I like the improvements too :)
If I were to make a few changes (at the edge of these being doc-bikesheds):

- Maybe find another way to describe the console login rather than
"legacy virtual console login prompt". Although this may be very
accurate I think it can be shortened sowewhat and still carry the same
meaning. Esp. since it is mentioned a few times.
- The word intensity is mentioned three times in a row "cycle through
steps of changing intensity of the image, from bright intensity to a
very dark intensity and over again." => I would probably change this to
"cycle through steps of changing intensity of the image, from bright to
very dark and over again."

This is minor stuff of course, and as I said it might just be my own color.

(off to find a nice boot screen for my Aspire one :) )
