- Introduce you to popular and useful desktop applications: browsers, productivity tools, document viewers, etc.

- Introduce you to a number of multimedia tools available for FreeBSD.

- Explain the process of building a customized FreeBSD kernel, to enable extra functionality on your system.

- Describe the print system in detail, both for desktop and network-connected printer setups.
