The first thing I come across is a bunch of stuff on using the mouse in console mode. This is asked frequently enough that we should have keep this information somewhere in addition to the man pages. There's no obvious place in the Handbook for it, though. Skimming through the FAQ, I think we're going to wind up with more material like this: general answers that are just too short to be an article, but don't quite fit in an existing portion of the Handbook. I suggest that we create a Handbook section called something like "Living with FreeBSD" that contains small, catch-all tutorials.
