I've thought at times of something like: doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/daily "Using FreeBSD for every-day work" but, I'm not sure what how that would be different from the FAQ or the Handbook we already have. I'd really be glad to see a collection of things like: - I just installed FreeBSD, now what? - I just want to read my email dammit. - Where's my browser? - No, no, I don't want to have to login. and other nice things that users will start asking once they install an operating system.
