Agreed.
 
Also suggest we have a page somewhere of docs that we think should be
written but haven't got someone assigned to/started. A sort of todo
list. 

So, some theoretical titles (How do I make Mindcraft tests go better?)
and structure of the docs could be good too.

In reading through some of the linux-doc archives, we should possibly be
looking at different classes of machines too. 

Standard - single CPU, < 128MB RAM
Small Server - dual CPU < 128MB RAM
Big - 4 CPUs
Extreme 8+ CPUs

For example, people coming to look at the site might also want to find
out what sort of machine is best suited for a particular task too. No
point having an 8 CPU box for file serving on a LAN with only 20 people
for example.
