This is a good thing; I have seen people complain about the tutorial
(https://www.postgresql.eu/events/pgconfeu2019/schedule/session/2735-whats-wrong-with-postgres/).
I really hope that your work doesn't go to waste.
I am a bit uncomfortable about having details about the workings of
binary packages for specific operating systems in the core documentation.
Maybe I'm too sensitive there, but what about having these parts in the Wiki
and linking there from the tutorial?
Quickly skimming over the text, I have two things to comment:
- The RedHat binaries use "trust" authentication by default, not "peer".
- I couldn't see anything about Windows.
I think that particularly on Windows people would need a tutorial most,
not because Windows people are more clueless, but because things work
differently there. Many Windows users don't know how to start a shell.
Yours,
