I think that that is a great idea. There are a lot of little little "gotchas" with the truman network. It might also be useful to include some sample iptables scripts that would help new users to secure their machines. Mandrake's default configuration of CUPS has been a thorn in my side for a couple of years now. It looks like they have secured it more in version 9.0 though. Before that if I didn't remember to edit it after an install/update it would accept jobs for an arbitrary machine on the network. Some special documentation might also be useful. I've written a rudimentary Introduction to Linux (http://www.brandonchisham.com/online_books/), this could easily be adapted to include some Truman specific stuff.
It would probably be good to start with something very flexible like Gentoo or Debian, so that a higher level of customization could be achieved.
