One more thing I would recommend, while you're editing, and thanks for 
maintaining this doc Jarod...  I noticed some of the sections are really 
long, and you tend to slip in some great tips within them, that aren't 
strictly the same as the topic, or might otherwise be of interest to 
someone even if they don't do the whole section/need to do the whole 
section.  If I could make a suggestion, I would use more headings and split 
things in to smaller pieces.  It helps avoid both intentional and 
unintentional skipping of important steps.  IE I would suggest making the 
artsd disable part a specific step, as well as a few others.  I can skim 
through and recommend the spots I noticed, if you want?
