Pierangelo, this wasn't meant as a flame - more like an expression of
exasperation. It's been up so often in the past.

Reader's. I'm sure it's chock full of useful information, but I can
never find what i'm looking for.

The man pages have gone from bad (2.1.8 when I started) to superb for
2.2. I've nothing bad to say about the 2.2 Admin Guide, it's also very
good. And I've nothing bad to say about the website. It's the FAQ that
gets under my belt. The best FAQ for me is the 15,000+ searchable
postings from this for the last 13 months on this harddisk.
Best,
