Barbish on using splash screens in FreeBSD [1]. Initially, it started as a fix for the FAQ, but after I suggested Joe to insert the descriptive part of his work into the Handbook, he offered an entire section for referencing from the FAQ. He recommended to put this section into Chapter 3 ("UNIX Basics"), but I would like to receive some comments on this before I start to integrate it into that chapter. (Do you think it is needed, if yes, it is a good place for that and so on.) Of course, after it has been moved to the Handbook, it would shorten the corresponding FAQ entry to contain only the necessary references and to avoid unnecessary duplication of the content. Thank you for your comments in advance. Cheers, :g [1] http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-doc/2008-November/014989.html
