Nice try, Brad. I suspect you're trying to say "This is version 0.21 so what do 
you expect?" 

I do read the documentation (if you're talking about the docs that Robert 
Kulagowski maintains) and in fact I always have the most current version 
printed out and placed into a folder for reference. That folder is currently 
sitting on the coffee table in my living room.

The wiki i've never found to be useful... maybe I don't know how to search it? 
Who knows... regardless I've never found the answer to any of my questions 
in the wiki. YMMV.

Then there's all the other sources... Jarod's guide is the best install walk-
through I've ever seen in open source (Thanks Jarod... sure wish you'd take 
a half-hour and freshen it up a bit) and should be required reading IMNSHO.

There are some good bits in the Ubuntu camp as well if you start at their 
community portal and drill down. Gentoo, MiniMyth, MythDora, etc. all have 
useful nuggets of documentation... (I'm a RedHat/Fedora guy myself, so I 
don't hang out in those communities)

Then Gossamer, if you're lucky enough to use just the right wording in your 
search... I'm seldom lucky, but even a blind squirrell finds an acorn now and 
again.

And so it goes.

If all else fails (and it frequently does) I just wait for my questions to come up 
on this list. They always do, sooner or later...
