Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific tools and commands (WinRM, PowerShell) are mentioned first and in greater detail, with explicit instructions and command examples (e.g., 'winrm qc'). Linux instructions are present but less detailed, often limited to port numbers (SSH 22) without equivalent command-line examples or troubleshooting depth. Windows authentication and administrative patterns (Local Administrators group, WinRM TrustedHosts) are emphasized, while Linux equivalents (root, SSH key-based authentication) are mentioned but not elaborated. Troubleshooting steps and error codes frequently reference Windows-specific mechanisms and error codes, with Linux errors addressed in less detail.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific command examples (e.g., how to enable SSH, configure firewall rules, validate root access) alongside Windows instructions.
  • Expand troubleshooting steps for Linux, including common SSH errors, permission issues, and log locations.
  • Mention Linux tools and patterns (e.g., sudo, systemctl, SSH config) with the same prominence as Windows tools.
  • Ensure Linux instructions are presented with equal detail and order as Windows instructions, not as secondary notes.
  • Include parity in authentication methods, such as examples for SSH key setup and management on Linux.
  • Reference Linux administrative groups (e.g., wheel, sudoers) when discussing required permissions.
