If computers were for smart people only, the Mac would never have been invented. Documentation... Documentation... We don't need no stinking documentation. Man pages are great if you need to do something at that level but emailers and surfers don't require man pages most people don't even know they exist. Non technical people have some difficulty with man pages because they "look to technical". I have to admit that I use google for looking up almost everything I use Windows/Mac/Linux/UNIX systems on a regular basis. Having a single point (browser) to search for stuff reduces the time switching between systems to find something.

Now it the correct kernel will install the first time it would be the greatest.
