Would someone be so kind and point me to
the FAQs and online documentation for FC2?

There is actually very little of it so far. It is easier to find good people to code and contribute to programs than it is to find people who are both knowledgeable about those programs, and have the inclination to write docs (inherently a less glorious affair), *and* have decent language skills. :-)


Since most of the packages in FC2 have evolved from earlier versions of all the same packages, nearly all of them have good docs somewhere. Several pointers:

 * The Linux Documentation Project
 http://www.tldp.org

 * Red Hat Linux 9 Manuals
 http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/

 * /usr/share/doc directory on your system

 * "man" command ("man locate", for example)

 * "info" command ("info locate")

why my FC2 box doesn't see my Windows PCs on my local
network although they can ping each other.  It might
be as simple as letting the FC2 PC know what the
network neighborhood name is, but I haven't figured
out how to do that.  If things like this are covered
in a man or info page or something similar, a pointer
to a TOC or other starting point would be very useful.

Edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf file and change the "Workgroup" line. :-) I believe you can issue the command "man smb.conf" and get *tons* of useful info.


Finally a search of this fedora mailing list archives
found no real hits for 'documentation' so I'm thinking
everyone else knows something I don't about this
subject.

Nah... that's why there's so much damned traffic on it! <smile>

Anytime you have a problem, try posting a specific question about it, with details on what you're trying to do, what you've tried, specific error messages if any, contents of log files if any, and with a useful subject line. You'll get lots of help here.

Cheers,
