If you're still so keen on FreeBSD after having such teething
problems, it looks like you should join the documentation project.
Check out www.FreeBSD.org for details.
Honestly, I've heard many people complain about the documentation,
and even seen some do something about it. People still complain...
Unix has lots of strengths, and with those strengths comes the
requirement that the administrator knows what to do and how things
work. Historically, Unix presents this information in a rather terse
but precise format.
When the administrator becomes more ``expert'', the documentation
becomes more useful as they can search for the right things and
discover the specifics. I suspect this is the way FreeBSD will
remain (or at least I hope it is).
The alternative is the M$ approach - I've never found any of their
help screens of the slightest bit of use !
