I would like to recommend leaving the book the same with the exception of 
moving a few of the items that have been mentioned on this list. The current 
grouping makes it easy to look for a certian topic to find software 
applications. 

What would be benificial is a checklist to follow to install XYZ package. 

A while back I did the GNOME install. I got through it by following the various 
required and some optional packages but in some cases you get multiple levels 
deep following required packages and forget where you started. And, sometimes 
your not sure if you installed something or not. 

I am not sure how this checklist could be organized. Maybe seperate sections 
for KDE, GNOME, SSH, server vs desktop, secure setup, etc...  The checklist 
could have a box or a line to check in the left column that could be used if 
someone were to print the list. The text for each line item should have the 
link back to the package along with a short description.

Might also have somewhere statements that if you have installed package ABC 
(GNOME), package XYZ has met all of its required packages.
