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

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

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