Most *nix documentation is geared towards someone who has been using *nix
for years already.  Which is great for those of us who have, but makes for
one sharp learning curve.  I come from a background of haveing to explain
things in the lowest common terms (Sr. Citizen Community Ed coruses,
children, the disabled, etc) so if I understand something, I tend to be
able to get someone else to understand to (though not always, I dont think
I would make a good classroom teacher).

Oh- and I would write documentation for a living if I *could* write
documentation for a living.  But I would likely get fired for putting some
snide comment in a manual for how dumb a particular feature (or lack there
of) is.
