All the books are good for is reference.  They're useless for showing
conecpts and sturcture.  We need some basic inllustrations on how things
are setup instead of digging through documentation at least twice to
figure out what is going on.  I have the red books, but they're more like
advanced topics and stuff.

Even the installation manual itself is vague and poorly structured.  There
are so many pieces in between that are missing that you have to dig up.
