Can us surrogate the Linux Documentation Project in a simple FAQ??

Newbie is ok, but lazy no. I like books. There are more books today
about Linux, at any level.
Originally, in the basic mulinux README, was stated
=====================================
muLinux is not
for newbye, but for the Linux
fan in general, or the curious person who wants to look inside
scripts to understand why an hack as muLinux <tt/sendmail/
(only 1216 bytes) is really able
to deliver mail with the correct return-address
=====================================
But someone suggested me to remove the reference to "not for newbye",
because many DOS users was dowloading it.
But, to be honest, this should be enforced: -not for newbye-, but
in more deep sense. The newbye is strongly encouraged to read manpages,
documentation, and to use performant tools. muLinux isn't suitable
as ship-school, only because it install easy.
All other mini-Linux are -not for newbye-: it is not a muLinux
peculiarity.
