I think that is a structural special of Linux/Unix.
On on side, programmers tend to reuse other programms to create more
complex sollutions, which is good, because that "old" code is tested and
the new solution is more stabil and achived without reinventing the
wheel.
On the other hand, this causes a linux system to have an endless load of
configuration files/possibilities and you have to know a little about
most of to get started, which is just overwhelming in the beginning.
So IMHO the difficulty is not in the available documentation, but in the
neccessary learning curve. What can help here is strict self-discipline
in just ignoring any configuration problem in the beginning, that is not
important (e.g. scrollbar of a mouse, etc. :-).

I find it still difficult to find out the right keyword or command to
look up sometime. So references to documentation is often just the
answer one needs :-)
