If that's suggesting those supplant actual testing..... If you're
suggesting docs should be considered *as well*, absolutely.
No. I'm suggesting that reading specs, documentation, install reports,
bug reports, q&a threads about specific problems is what one does BEFORE
investing the effort in installing and testing software. Same as for
any other major investment of time or money. As a general rule, when it
comes to production systems, I NEVER touch a new release until the
stream of bug reports drops to a trickle. (It's a different matter, of
course, if it's software we're developing, or bleeding edge software
where we're explicitly evaluating alpha or beta releases.)
