Bill has put together some nice prepackaged solutions that are basically
turnkey setups with step by step directions on using them.  That may be the
best way for someone to get started, since as you pointed out we have a
wide array of tools and versions.   Maintaining an accurate, current and
complete guide to all the possible configurations anyone might want to use
would be a daunting and never ending task.  Having the most common in ready
to go form is probably the best compromise.
