Dear Gabor,

thank you and Joseph for your work!

Please go for it, a lot of desktop users want it.

Chapter 3 seems appropriate for me.

Wouldn't it be nice to have some FreeBSD specific splash
screens in the artwork section or elsewhere and you mention
it in your section?  Maybe it would be good idea to ask
on advocacy for proposals?

Best regards, Daniel
