Hello Chris,
nice that youre working on docs,
i send you a few thoughts, hope you like them.
I think the document should start with chapter 0 : "Welcome to this
document".
contents, warning about document problems, foreword, getting newest
version,
indication of copyright of document and purpose of document could be
(part of) this.
maybe some words about or from the authors ?
Apart from this,
for a document containing section "getting debian",
chapter title "Welcome to Debian" seems slightly premature.
GNU/Linux : i think it should be Linux/GNU/X

i really dont know, but, would defragmenting be advantageous ?

8.1 If You Are New to Unix
shouldnt that be "Linux" ?
