The problem with a FAQ is the same as the problem with freshmeat.net, and with all of the other resources (like the docs found at ldp.org). Newbies don't know that they exist, so they don't find them. I suppose there could be a weekly posting of a FAQ like on some lists, but then there'd be a whole bunch of those things archived (or another thing to keep track of for the archive/list admins - exceptions are always bad if they can be avoided).
I disagree partly.
The linux word should think more about how they made the learningcurve less steep when we get beyond the desktop.
What part do you disagree with?
They do know that the info is "around" on the net and install-media, but learning takes some effort besides ensuring enough oxygen to stay alive. Many times things (Howto's/information about linux) get a little to "nerdy". 2'ndly a lot misinterprete the community and 3'rdly some even missuse the nice people in the community (other linuxusers and SuSE from time to time .... but that's another story).
--Danny, pretty sure that the windows registry and MacOS's BSD core have pretty steep learning curves, too - steeper than Linux "beyond the desktop"
