Ya know, I don't do that before I install most stuff, but I *do* tend
to open the source kit and read it when I want the product to do more,
or when I think it's failing, or just when I don't understand why it
does *that* when I say *this*.  In a former position I wound up
reading maybe 70% of the entire operating system over the course of
several years.  It really does happen.  In fact I have some bits of
Tomcat source on my desk right now, and a pile of somebody else's
servlet code as well.

Typically when a software vendor says that a product is "intuitive" he
means the exact opposite.
