They throw in a couple more questions about enabling NTP and SSH.<p>&gt; And not only is the system pretty simple, the documentation is really good, too.<p>I think that newer users of Linux are not used to searching for documentation in man pages, instead they go look for an answer they can copy-paste off of Stack Overflow.
