All of these chapters look interesting.  I am really hard-pressed
choosing one of all these interesting titles.  My own preference
would be for one of the chapters of the ``FreeBSD on the
Desktop'' part, i.e. the introductory one:

    ``FreeBSD on the Desktop''

I'll let the rest of the freebsd-doc team choose too though.
Whatever the majority of us prefers is also the one I will
support as a choise :)

Giorgos
