Debian comes with a lot of documentation if one cares to install it. And,
most important, you can always use the original docs (of packages / programs)
for configuration, which is not true on any other dist i'm aware of. Most try
to solve everything their way, while debian seems to be pretty transparent
towards the original (the author's) way of configuring a package / software.
That is, if you read the author's docs you are able to configure the
software. Try this on a SuSe or Red Hat ...
Most of the packages I have looked into are either strictly the
authors instructions or some abbreviated changelog file. There isn't
a bridge between how the author set it up and how Debian would do it
by their philosophy.
