But the end-user is the administrator of their box! ;-) In my opinion, the documentation is written for people who are trying to get things done, reguardless of they are trying to do it in a server or desktop environment. After all, many of the tasks they have to perform are the same anyway. And an inexperienced server administrator needs exactly the same level of hand-holding and explanation as an inexperienced end-user setting up their workstation for the first time. Returning to the question of where the X installation chapter should be, I believe it should be near the start as it is part of the process of getting the system working, IMHO. And I guess we could add a comment to the introduction reminding server administrators that they probably don't need or want X at all. Andrew.
