Well... I guess I'm the typical dumb user in this case. I didn't know the documentation was there! I use a command line interface only, as I build out servers -- I don't install any gui at all. Typically I use my laptop (not linux) to go online to find documentation on applications, or work off the README's and INSTALL's and other documentation that come in a tarball of source. It didn't occur to me that apt-get was putting all that documentation on my hard drive for me. Never even looked in this /usr/share/doc place. So... I guess I have a lot more resources than I thought! I'll just go hide under a rock now. (But I still think there is some benefit from approximating the upstream developer's installation conventions where reasonable and appropriate.) BTW: I have never found any of that documentation through the debian web site. It would be fantastic if there were an easy way to reference it through the web. Except, I suppose there is, I was just too dumb to find it.
