All these distributions are made of several independant projects
so I guess the same thing applies to them.

If you can find how to activate DMA on your CD-ROM from DistroWatch,
you're a better man than I am.

Yup. The way Red Hat documents changes is different from the way the
kernel hackers do it, is different from the way the net-snmp developers
do it, etc...

Yup. From html files to postscript, going by sample configuration files,
text, pdf, READMEs, changelogs, etc. You want it, we've got it.

Well, the point of my post was to point out that "real" documentation
is a very subjective term and that standardizing on any one format
for any and all package documentation is going to be hard, if not
downright impossible.

FWIW, I don't actually have a problem (well, this openobex stuff is a
pain in the @$$, but I digress).
I responded to a post stating that a distribution's release notes are
not considered "real" documentation and attempted to show there is no
such animal.
