I have a few small issues with the instructions. Starting with instruction zero is funny and cool. It mimics the Richard Stallman method of numbering his four freedoms. However, IMHO, starting with zero confuses people. Maybe that's just a North America perspective, I don't know. But I have always started counting with one. Also, I am probably going to have to use Jabber. I have never been able to get Gaim or Gabber to work for me. Frankly, though, that's not an issue for me, personally, because I don't usually participate in chats. I don't know why. I guess they still seem a little bit too unfamiliar for me. But you might want to let SuSE users know that they can use Jabber, too. I have used it about three times, and I was actually able to get it working. I think that your instructions are good, though. IMHO, we need more dirt simple instructions like this on the OOo site.
