Hi John, I submitted my revised version last night. Feel free to proof-read it and suggest any changes, and I'll incorporate them tonight. As for the screenshots, I'll be getting them today. In fact, I may grab them right now (as I'm on a the Live CD doing a reinstallation).
When I'm up and running again, I'll revise my chapter according to what you've put in your reply here. I think the only thing I'll need to add is a link to the groups pages in the Applying to Files and Folders subsection. Have a great day:) Patrick.
