Description Pete Travis 2013-06-22 21:27:03 UTC

The System Administrator's Guide references a number of GUI utilities, many of which are specific to GNOME. It isn't immediately obvious to the uninitiated that this is the case, causing non-GNOME users to find fault with the guide.

 I suggest an admonition in the preface along the lines of "Some of the graphical procedures and menu locations are specific to GNOME, but most command line instructions will be universally applicable"  Comprehensively differentiating between GNOME procedures, procedures for other DEs, and universal procedures would probably be prohibitively time consuming.

Thank you very much for reporting this, Pete. You are of course absolutely right, this should be mentioned in the Preface and potentially in the abstract as well.
