Another Unofficial UbuntuGuide?

While I agree that the official documentation should get more focus, and
should be the main resource, I still really like the layout of
UbuntuGuide.  For instance, say I'm trying to remember the syntax or
one of the steps for adding a user for Samba.  I can just open the
guide, type "samba server", and it'll give me the proper syntax for the
commands I need to execute.  When I'm on the offical help.ubuntu.com, I
have to first navigate to a starter guide (yeah, it's a small step to
just bookmark the starterguide, but I like being able to do things with
a keyboard), and then I have to find Samba server, and click the link to
that section, and then I have the same information the ubuntuguide gave
me, but with much less following of links and clicking.  It's not that
I don't believe we should be shown the "how" and not the why, but I'd
like a quick reference guide of sorts.  It's nice to not have to
memorize so many commands.
