Log:
This patch addresses the following:
- fixes missing &os;, &linux; and incorrect <xref> tags
- general rewording to replace "you" and address redundancy
- removes deprecated apps: abacus, gimp-devel, guppi, konq-plugins and renames koffice to calligra
- incorporates redundant summary into synopsis
- fixes incorrect port/pkg names and adds localization notes where applicable
- moves some <sect2> to <sect3> as they make more sense as subsections
- rm openjdk compile as icedtea Makefile now does this for user
- bumps up some pkg/port versions
- adds some URLs to less known apps

<title>Synopsis</title>
- <para>FreeBSD can run a wide variety of desktop applications, such
- as browsers and word processors. Most of these are available as
- packages or can be automatically built from the Ports
- Collection. Many new users expect to find these kinds of
- applications on their desktop. This chapter will show you how
- to install some popular desktop applications effortlessly,
- either from their packages or from the Ports Collection.</para>
-
- <para>Note that when installing programs from the ports, they are
- compiled from source. This can take a very long time, depending
- on what you are compiling and the processing power of your
- machine(s). If building from source takes a prohibitively long
- amount of time for you, you can install most of the programs of
- the Ports Collection from pre-built packages.</para>
-
- <para>As FreeBSD features Linux binary compatibility, many
- applications originally developed for Linux are available for
- your desktop. It is strongly recommended that you read
- <xref linkend="linuxemu"/> before installing any of the Linux
- applications. Many of the ports using the Linux binary
- compatibility start with <quote>linux-</quote>. Remember this
- when you search for a particular port, for instance with
- &man.whereis.1;. In the following text, it is assumed that you
- have enabled Linux binary compatibility before installing any of
- the Linux applications.</para>
+ <para>While &os; is popular as a server for its performance and
+ stability, it is also suited for day-to-day use as a desktop.
+ With over 24,000 applications available as <link
+ linkend="packages-using">packages</link> or <link
+ linkend="ports-using">ports</link>, it is easy to build a
+ customized desktop that runs a wide variety of desktop
+ applications. This chapter demonstrates how to install some
+ popular desktop applications effortlessly using packages or the
+ &os; Ports Collection.</para>
+
+ <para>As &os; features <link linkend="linuxemu">&linux; binary
+ compatibility</link>, many applications developed for &linux;
+ can be installed on a &os; desktop. Many of the ports using
