documentation is absolutely undervalued and unappreciated by *nix users.
they love feeling like wizards who know all the arcana.

why else would they flock to a system as horribly documented at Linux?

if i want to know how something works, i read a Solaris or BSD man page.

if i want to feel stupid i can read a Linux man page. if i want to feel utterly frustrated i could try to read the GNU info page.

if i want to feel hopeless, i can read a venture capital funded corporate open source tool's documentation website.
