I agree while 5 extra chapters is too much for now, keeping it at 10 chapters but re-ordering it is an excellent idea. Although if this is to be done it must be done before alpha release.

> I have been taking a look at our current TOC and am wondering whether it needs to be tweaked slightly. My concern is that we will be asking users to open a terminal and type commands within the first six chapters, however it is not until chapter 7 that we have an 'introduction to the terminal' that explains what it is and what sudo means etc. This doesn't make sense to me and could be confusing/offputting to a beginner.
