"installing the system and giving it a whirl" ... has one drawback, certainly if there is little readibly background information.
My 2 $.cents worth... By the time I managed to make sense of things, I had created such a mess, and lost valuable time makings sense of error messages, I was forced to start all over again and again. How many newbies are willing to go through this process. Effectively this woill not raly help in evangilism I feel. Even if it's the best way to learn, there must a simpeler format to get people started, and I feel Torben's approach could be the right one. One thing that I learned was that at first it seemed I would have to learn Tcl, as I was under the impression I had to change an awfull lot to make ACS modules do the things I needed, to discover later this is not the case. Once you know what you are looking at (which is helpfull if you start) it's releatively simple to put together a shopping list of items you need changed, and find help with those issues.
Cheers
