IMHO Texinfo and info is not so bad. I use emacs but read the info files through the program <info>. The main advantage is that anyone can produce very cool printouts, and no need for an overfancy web browser.
Installing Linux can be a very big challenge, but I do not want to overstate it. My very first Debian install was bo, all in 3 hours. (No net, no X, all dev stuff.) It went nice. My second install was hamm for a friend, it was about 4-5 hours because he had some tricky hw gadgets. (No net, X, important development stuff.) Most recently (last december) I installed hamm for myself. It lasted for 5 hours, because I made some wrong decision concerning hw settings. Though I must admit, I had 5 years of user experience with IBM AIX.
