You misinterpreted the same, its not like asking of medical documentation,
rather a doctor is directly now performing upon the patient, so rather than
RTFM, he would go for ***practical implementation***. If he were to read
the docs, he were not a doctor since still he would be called as 'going to
be a doctor' and still under the course...!

The point is, you've asked for "Documentation" but haven't specified

Okay that is correct, I accept. When I said, 'User Driven Docs', I meant
for 10.04 LTS but in a format suitable for offline reads!

I agree.

Well, that is a good point.
