Just do it for everything - I have a tiddlywiki [1] full of notes about how to fix/install/setup/tune etc. things on my computers.

This started after I spent hours figuring out how to fix a network problem the the Nth time last year :) Now all I have to do is search the Wiki.

Unfortunately I tend to use a number of different devices to connect to work with.

So no tiddlywiki for me :(

Dropbox it for cross-machine access :) (& I also tag entries if it relates to a specific device)

This is why I added a note-taking feature & full-text search to my del.icio.us clone :)

Wiki and it's hyperlinking is too complex for me. I just write README files in main dirs and a big install_notes in ~.

A basic (true-to-original) wiki will hyperlink every CamelCase word. That is too complex?
