I seriously doubt there is any such document ... My troubles stemmed from the exact opposite... not consulting enough documents. And heavy handed tendency to just jump right in without much research. The only thing I can say on my own behalf is that there was once a time when it wasn't so far fetched to start emerge -vC 'ing stuff. Yrs ago gentoo was not yet so complex as it is today. Ditto for the other linux's I'm sure my way will smooth out immensely with just a little immersion back into gentoo as old memories are kicked into life (At least I hope so ...)
