Sorry for my too short and poor explanation.

To make it simple, let us assume "a tech reader who knows Debian GNU/Linux
for ordinal PC, but Debian Edu AT ALL, nor LDAP/LTSP based network system".

e.g.) If the reader does not pay enough attention,
      it would create "a normal POSIX user" and don't care about its
      responsibility; naming, its password complexity, etc.

There are not so much to talk about these, consider them as just samples.

e.g.) Reader may use ordinal passwd or other "usual way of Debian password
      change method" and then got password sync problem,
      IF it does not pay attention on this section.

So, it is about "a warning/pitfall list: these should not be done in ordinal way",
or some kind of FAQs style section near the doc entry.

I do not want to say Debian Edu doc lacks something important.

Even though, knowing something important BEFORE reading Debian Edu doc,
readers may pay more attention about them,
and can understand and manage Debian Edu more smoothly.

In other words, please just think about,

1. What you Debian Edu team done;
   a very sophisticated huge system hiding many technical sides as much as possible.
2. What kind of knowledge would be required if it has to be build from scratch?
3. How many of them are well-known among ordinal (tech) people?
4. How many of people in this world can build Debian Edu from scratch?

Considering about those,
I just think some short list/FAQs alike section may help new readers.

I just underestimate about readers because I do not know, nor can do it.

So, it's just a proposal. If you don't feel it good, then it is not good.
Please just forget about this then.

Thanks about this, and a great thank for reading this messy proposal.
