Benjamin,

I have two comments on the recent reordering.

I'm not sure if have security and terminal chapter is a good idea. I 
can't see where this proposed in the bug report (I may of missed it), so 
I didn't comment on it before the reordering was done. I have two 
reasons for this: the content is not related (suggesting separate 
chapters) and reading "The Command Line and Security" may lead a new(er) 
users to thinking the command line is required / related to security, 
and as the comments in the bug reported suggested new users have some 
(negative) preconception about the terminal.

However, this is how the content is now arranged, I've emailed Ryan 
about combining our work.


Also, currently the latex files are named by chapter (e.g. chapter3). I 
think these should be named by chapter name so that and future 
rearranging / additions are easier to manage.  Since latex sorts out the 
chapter / section numbers producing the final document is no more 
difficult.


Regards,
Kelvin
