I agree with Tucker.

For context, back in the foggy mists of time, we concocted the  
current longish names in order to make it easier to distinguish  
between the Developer's Guide and the Deployer's Guide -- they look  
so similar that people were failing to notice that there are actually  
two "books".

The Deployer's Guide (aka System Administrator's Guide, etc) is  
mostly about deploying proxied applications; that is, using the  
LPS.   However, there are some topics, such as security, that apply  
to both proxied and SOLO deployments.
