I would tend to disagree with your statement that it is not helpful.
Writing any HOWTO requires some effort on the author's part, and the effort
does help a number of users.  I agree with you that a HOWTO for Asterisk,
for example, should be generalized so that it can be helpful to a wider
audience.  An existing HOWTO for a particular operating system can serve as
a good basis for a general HOWTO.  I hope that the previously named author
does not interpret this as trivializing their contribution to the community
because I'm sure many first-time Asterisk users are glad to find
step-by-step instructions that cover such a readily available and
widely-used flavor of Linux.
