This used to be a thing! I remember the first time I installed Debian (back in the 2.0 days, I think) and it came with the "HOWTO" packages, which were essentially precursors to the semi free-format Arch wiki. That's how I learned how to configure kernel modules, what the difference between installing Linux using UMSDOS vs. a real partition, and even how ReiserFS worked. I really feel like easy internet access has taken good documentation away from us. It's too easy to Google for something, find some crappy blog with barely enough instructions to fix the problem. We've become reactive, rather than pro-actively educating ourselves. |
