RTFM is easy.  If you stack with Linux, sometimes best answer is RTFS
with S standing for Source.

Most FAQ and HOWTO are out dated.  Just a fine hints but not a serious
defenitive reference in many cases unless upstrean software authou
maintain it diligently (exim is a one with fine manual.)

Some kernel things have no documentation other than one in the Source.

Anyway nothing is free(beer).  Time and effort of users are demanded.
