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."
seems reasonable.
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.
This assumes that everywhere you go you use the same logon name, in my
case I don't. I will mention using either or as it suites the user.
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.
Absolutely, all roads lead to Rome. I will advise the reader they have
the option.
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.

Agreed. I thought it might be to long winded, I will rework it. The doc
is just a starting point for me
I am going to drop in printing and plan on installing 3.8 to check for
differences.
Cheers
Thanks.
