One old farts comment re the docs here folks.

This will need to be improved considerably if you want all us lurking frogs to be able to use it without drowning this list with what really should be RTFMable questions. Specifically, we should be able to dl one package and install something that, by reading the manpages, can be made to work OOTB given an adequate network connection.

My lurking & reading the mail here tends to give me the impression that while it can be made to work, there are yet rough edges for the new user. Potentially discouraging rough edges...
