I agree that the wiki guides could use some major work. But, they still have a ton of useful information in them that would make starting a server from scratch nearly impossible if it wasn't in there. The good thing about a wiki though, is that anyone can update it. So, if you find something wrong in there or something that needs updating, fix it please! I have been meaning to try to go through some of them, but time is limited and for me to do it right, I would have to use a fresh Windows build so the directions don't get tainted by my pre-existing stuff. Also, even if they were updated for one OS, I am sure they would still lack info for other OSs like Vista or 64 bit OSs.
Anyway, anyone who isn't fairly technical might want to check out this post before attempting to setup a server on their own for the first time:
