Please compare the following two guides:

	- http://www.ua.netbsd.org/guide/download/netbsd-en.pdf.gz

	- http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/bsdhks/chapter/hack67.pdf


Next, please compare the following two web-site frameworks:

	- NetBSD DocBook Website based htdocs/share
	- Apache Forrest

And let me cite yourself: ``In order to accept this you
should
think about web-site as not about pile of [HTML] files
available
via HTTP, and about printable books as not about pile of
pages
which you can send to printer.''

Yes, there is a difference between web-site and pile of
files.
Someone can neglect this difference and call their pile as
"web-site".
But we usually referring the same thing as "bad
web-site". Even
worse for books.
