I like the Handbook and I think the Handbook is very good for what it is |
| 9 |
designed for. But it was not designed for use by Linux newbies and I do not |
| 10 |
think it should it be. |

Well, I have already written a single document that is designed to allow Linux |
| 18 |
newbies to install Gentoo without help. The document has been tested under |
| 19 |
controlled conditions and it works reasonably well :-) |

If this document was offered as an option for newbies to work through before |
| 22 |
moving on to the Handbook, my experience indicates that the percent of newbies |
| 23 |
who are able to successfully install Gentoo should increase significantly. |
