I'd offer to help with maintaining the .pdf or word file if we do want to go that route. The experience would be good for me since I'm trying to get into Linux myself. We could give it a name like "Xtremesystems Linux WCG Noob Manual" or something.

I'd love to hear this answer from someone that works at Intel and could give us some inside knowledge or more detail(or maybe correct me if I am wrong).
I am thinking maybe a google.docs link might work but one of my concerns is it all getting overwhelming for someone. Many people never try or get very far with Linux because there is so much there, at the command line anyway. What I was trying to do was just enough to setup and run a cruncher under Linux. There are a lot of web sites that have good FAQs and HOWTOs to all this and much more. Yet people still do not use Linux for a cruncher.

So I am trying to keep it from becoming overwhelming and yet still have what people need. The way I see if is if something gets asked then it may need to be added. If not then why do it? No sense in adding disk trouble shooting or raid arrays to the basic parts of it. In other words I think we need to keep some simple and just enough and still be able to answer the more uncommon problems.

Thoughts?
