wow, this is getting racist, OP, please
delete this whole thread if possible.
James is no white, he is one stupid
Indian (at least from his last name) who does not understand the value
of Open Source. And the simple fact that the docs here are purely a reference
guide with some exceptions. You just try out the directives if you are
not sure and observe the output / end result and you will get there. There
are so many things I still do not know in AWS but if there is a new requirement,
the only place I visit is the Apache documentation. First try to help myself
and if I have exhausted my options, ask the community for help.
One of my ex-Manager was of the same opinion as James - would always butt-head
with me about Open Source and try to shoot down every Open source proposal
I had. Like James argued that "poor documentation implied having to
pay for support / consulting. So it is not truly free". If at all
you need support, then why not pay!? Don't you pay 20% of the license fee
for annual support for all your existing Enterprise products. You save
the huge up-front license fee for unlimited installations, processors,
servers, sites going with open source s/w so can't you shell out at least
support dollars. I just don't get that argument. But at least having a
rock stable Apache 1.x, 2.0.x, and currently 2.2.x, and Suse Linux 8,9,10
for the last 7-8 years w/o having to pay a dime has silenced him and other
nay sayers in my org.
Anyway, coming from India, a nation
of many million programmers and IT folks, but has hardly made a serious
original contribution to the open source community (or to IT in general),
I had to chyme in and let the entire open source community know that how
heck of a job you all are doing expecting very little to nothing in return
and enduring personal time and sacrifice and how much your efforts are
appreciated around the world. You all are my role models.

Re: a chain of proxy servers
Heck no. I got lucky that I'm not white, so I got in with
affirmative action... Did you get hired because of the Americans with Disabilities
Act? If so, that's cool too... I guess not being able to read is a disability...
