Arguably, it reflects about the documentation quality, which is
arguably a factor in user friendliness. One of the biggest obstacles
to widespread Linux acceptance has been documentation. A few years ago
the problem was: There ain't none. Now, the problem is: There's too
much to read it all, and there's no decent help browser with search
functionality, and a lot of it is scattered all over the place both on
the net and on a typical installation's directory tree. :-)
