What do you want to see out of how-to/tutorial sites?
Hey there LET! Recently I've decided to launch a tech how-to site of my own, as i am unhappy with some thing or another that I've noticed on others. I figured that you guys probably see these kinds of sites often in the course of messing with your LEB's, and i was wanting to know what do you want to see in a tutorial site?

little bit of everything
Free Beer.. i would love a how-to site to have Free Beer.. each reader should get a Free Beer!.. have i suggested free beer?
Nice load balancing tutorial. But not like ones we can find now. Most of tuts we can find cover only or web server or load balancing application settings.
Then next step is mysql let's say mirror/mirror with load balancing.
That is something cool to be done. I know this take some time because i wrote some docks on my own for my work, but they are my own mess.
I greatly agree with point # 3 as said by @ZEROF. Thats greatly annoying.
can you create a nice tutorial with a full of image/figure about "creating your own DNS server" ?
and maybe about "how to detect if your server/vps got hacked"
Get someone else to buy you a beer = free.
@0xdragon - That would work.. go drop by the bottle shop and pick me up a 6 pack would ya.. ship it overnight to me
the best how-to is an install script. Helps newbies use it, helps advanced users understand, does not contain any unnecessary information.
Create basic tutorials that are very easy to follow even by non-techy people
I see @namhuy web if something happen with my LEB, so far help me a lot, but i still need best config for LEMP to handle 6-9k UV and 10-15k PV a day..
@4n0nx yepp it really help, but if something bad happen it'll srew u a lot too..
a load balancing how to as mentioned above, but done in full stack(from load balancing software to webserver to backend language, with integration for all)
Tutorials for techy people for projects that have little to no documentation.
How to create streaming video site like Vimeo/YouTube.
Alright thanks for all the ideas. Do you guys have pitfalls/things that you dislike that you notice in many sites? For my i dislike the way most of them are organized - it's hard to find a tutorial that you want if there's 25 with the word Apache + mod_proxy in search, and your just wanting to configure mod_proxy. I'm thinking that a well structured wiki would fix this problem or at least help.
