I'd even write some of it, if I could only find the info in the first place... Look at the HOWTOs that Linux has available. All operating system pros/cons aside, I can find out how to do almost anything from that hunk of text files in 5 minutes. FreeBSD? I see 12 tutorials, a skeletal handbook, and an equally skeletal FAQ. The kernel didn't come with much documentation either. There's 2.4 megs of text in the Documentation directory of the Linux kernel describing how pretty much everything works. I feel pretty comfortable screwing around in the Linux kernel source, 'coz it generally tells me what everything does. If you read those docs they give you a lot of information on things that you might have to do to the server if it needs to handle a lot of load too...
