Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While it mentions both Windows and Linux servers in credential requirements and MySQL discovery, most detailed examples, tool mentions, and feature support are Windows-centric. Windows authentication and tools (e.g., File Server role, IIS/ASP.NET) are described in detail, while Linux equivalents are either not mentioned or only briefly referenced. Some features, such as File Server discovery, are explicitly limited to Windows. There are no Linux command-line or tool examples, and Windows terminology (e.g., 'local admin privileges', 'domain credentials') is used predominantly.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux examples for credential setup, discovery, and supported roles (e.g., show how to add Linux credentials, what permissions are needed, and how to verify them).
- Include Linux-native tools and roles (e.g., Apache/Nginx for web servers, Samba/NFS for file servers) in the discovery documentation, or clarify their support status.
- Balance the order of presentation: mention Linux and Windows equally, and avoid always listing Windows first.
- If certain features (like File Server discovery) are Windows-only, clearly state this and, if possible, provide guidance or roadmap for Linux support.
- Add sample outputs or screenshots for Linux scenarios, not just Windows.
- Use neutral terminology where possible (e.g., 'administrator/root privileges' instead of 'local admin privileges').
