I think having some documents like the Linux HOWTOs would be quite
useful. I've got a couple of tips at

    http://www.portal.ca/~cjs/computer/netbsd/

I currently have a good start on easy ways to set up a super-duper
web server type system (MySQL database, apache, PHP3, mod_perl);
I can probably do some more work on that sometime in the next few
weeks to make it useful to the novice. If anyone else wants to work
on this, contact me privately and I'll tell you what I've done and
where we need to go from here.
