I'd be happy to see Advanced Topics removed. I don't think that
basic-commands is a sufficiently gentle introduction to the Terminal to
warrant keeping it. Any introductory guide to the Terminal should
probably be linked into the Terminal's help menu anyway, rather than
through the general help system.

While we're at it, is the "Adding, Removing and Updating Applications"
section necessary any more? The Software Centre has reasonably good docs
which we could extend to cover some other questions that users have. We
can just link to that document from the Help Centre front page.

Thanks,

Phil
