I've never writen anything like that, but I think I could write a book on this. I keep thinking I should get a blog and put stuff like this on there, but there is always something else to do, and I'm not the sort of person to write in my diary every day :) I've already written up a sort of non-technical summary for the client (about 5 pages), and just sent a non-detailed technical summary to the list. Once everything is completed and settled, I can try and combine those two, maybe throw in a bunch of extra details (command lines, config files, etc), and see where it ends up.
