Well put! Except I'd say that you are not afraid, and know how, because the
instructions on how to install and configure it are written and you just have
to read it. Since you know how a system works you can also get around
incomplete docs.
If all that fails you can join a mailing list for the s/w and get your answers
there, or a list like this one. Though it's almost always better to ask on
the specific application list.
