When this sub-tread started, I said "Hey, that's my idea!" :-) I had thought of setting up internal documentation servers for very small companies. They can never find anything. (speaking from personal experience!) I have several pc's at home networked. All run FreeBSD and X. The server runs Apache, NIS, NFS, and holds *all* documentation. If anyone needs to have a question answered, they can read the online docs via a local web page, or search the docs, or search the _latest_ docs at freebsd.org. Selecting a search result will bring up the local doc or auto dial, connect, and go to freebsd.org. Package this configuration and you have a ready to run tool which is usefull and extensible.
