If anyone has time, I'd like feed back.

1. I'd get rid of the rdate cron job and just turn on openntpd. It's
much more efficient, IMO, and you can easily "set it and forget it."
2. I wouldn't add static host mappings to .ssh/config. I would just add
them to /etc/hosts since that is what it's made for.
3. Add the option of creating a tar file for backing up. You can just
burn this to cd or copy (scp, sftp, ftp, nfs, smb) this to another system.
In general, this is a good start. One more piece of advice, try not to
make the document too narrative, but rather just put in what the user
needs to know to get a desktop working.
Might be good to update for 3.8 too.
