This would be very helpfull for the acceptance of FreeBSD for 'normal' 
users.

Dispite using Unix and other operating systems since the late Seventies, 
I feel once in a while lost because I do not understand the documentation.

A documentation you suggest would make it much easier for the user to 
overcome at least the problem even if he does not understand why he was 
able to overcome it.
