Not to mention the fact that given the dynamic nature of the development
efforts, as soon as you publish something it WILL be out of date (or
incomplete at a minimum)...leading to further misconceptions, bad will, or
whatever.
The way I find out about them is to monitor mailing lists and newsgroups
for things relevant to what I want to do. So, maybe what SHOULD be
published is a list of pointers to sources of information on the various
subjects. For example,
If you want to find out more about the Linux, checkout
comp.os.linux.whatever, the mailing lists at xxx.yyy.edu and
http://sunsite.unc.edu.
For FreeBSD, checkout comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.whatever, the mailing
lists at majordomo@freebsd.org and http://www.freebsd.org.
...etc...
And MAYBE include some real basic overview ("...they are all Unix style
operating systems...") information.
