 folks?

You get used to it after a while and start to learn where stuff is :-)

Personally, I tend not to use site's various indexes on their front 
page. A much better index already exists - Google. In konqueoror:

gg:search strings site:gentoo.org

works for me

Me too, although I find a search of all of gentoo.org pulls in too much
irrelevant information from the forums and mailing lists, so I usually
start with site:www.gentoo.org/doc

[gentoo-user] Index the doc

2008-04-20 Thread alain . didierjean

fter being a user  (for at least a year each) of Redhat, Suse, Debian I finally
went to Gentoo and intend to stick to it.

What I like most:
- I had to reinstall only once, when I changed my computer. That's great !
Experience has taught me that, should a new version be issued, the safer and
least time consuming way to keep up with other linux is to reinstall. Not on
Gentoo!

- the other great feature is the abundant, detailed and practical documentation.
You're never left on your own.

Which is where a problem lies: the doc being so big, most of the time, the best
way to find what you're looking for is to ask for a pointer on this list. It
sure works, but I think it's about time to launch a documentation indexing
project, to make a search entry available on the main doc page of gentoo.org.
What do you think folks?
