If you read through them, you will see that most of
them have been updated with the experiences we have
had with newbies.

IMHO, I don't like to spoon-feed solutions to newbies.
If they do their homework, make an effort to "learn",
and then they say that they got stuck at some
instance, I'd like to "help" them.

One of the best things I like about FLOSS is the
documentation. You can simply follow the README,
INSTALL and doc files, step-by-step.

Cheers guyz,
