Yes, the document is targeted towards a sysadmin audience, not a desktop user. That being said, it should be easy to write a "Security for desktops" chapter more targeted towards end-users including do's and dont's and recommended best practices there. While it will probably contain all the information you >> require, but it's entirely possible it might scare your friend a bit. >> > > It scares me ;/ Please go through chapter 2 "Before you begin" and 3 "Before and during the installation". I think those chapters can be easily applied to a desktop environment. If they "scare you" maybe we have to tone down the content. Best regards Javier
