Also it's a chance to break it or see how it fails and what errors get kicked out. This way you're not at a loss when it does break or it can help make your config more robust. Lastly the further you get in your career the less help Google, mailing lists, etc become. At that point your own experience and 5-10 minutes of testing is going to produce better results. kashani
