[ale] [OT] Good Server Documentation - Best Practices

[Jonathan Glass]

I'm about to spend a half-day doing nothing but documentation!  Woohoo! 
Now I'm in a quandary.  I have a nice, new, clean notebook (3-ring
binder) with inserts.  WHat is the best way to document your servers?

I was thinking about going the minimalist route, including server name,
ip, mac, switch port #, services, file-system layout, backup policies
and recovery methods...one sheet for each server.  

How do i document all my client machines?  Should I do the same, sans IP
addresses?  I'm sure there is more to this.

Thanks for any tips, suggestions, RTFMs (haven't looked for a "man
documenting-servers" yet...).
