Some of the users may be having no prior experience with computers.
Manuals for such people should include screen shots ...  and that is
an optimization problem!

1. New user does not learn about the name of the Add/Remove Software
program. The first occurrence of "Add/Remove Software program" can be
replaced by "Add/Remove Software program (called 'Pirut')".

2. 'kicker' is the whole of the main panel. "Fedora icon in the lower
left corner called the Kicker" is just wrong.

3. There are two minor typos towards the end...."kickerand" and a
missing 'on' in the last line

Otherwise, it is good.
