My tools for documentation: 1. the O'Reilly section at the local bookstore 2. Lexmark Optra and a huge box of paper 3. Giant stapler from Office Depot Rob. John Meyer wrote:
Just my two cents of the whole documentation issue. I have both the 6.1 and the 6.4 editions of SuSE, manuals included. I'm pleased with both manuals in terms of quality and overview of the whole Linux. Not much difference between the two, but both show a quality in technical writing that just isn't there with the Microsoft version. Even with the "educational version" of the Microsoft developer tools (Visual Studio) comes with very, very poor hard copy documentation (A "Getting Started" guide that is laughable). The online documentation is little better; Visual C++'s online documentation has some errors and some non-standard practices. Maybe Microsoft justifies this by thinking that students will get the documentation in class. But Borland comes with documentation in their student version, so I can hardly see Microsoft's reason. If there's one thing I hope stays the same, it's that the Linux distributions include manuals with the quality of SuSE's both now and in the future. The "getting started" mini-manual is good, but we need something in print to refer to that is substantial.
