Selenium RC Installation a Pain

I recently tried to revamp my personal habits of website testing. I've heard great things about Selenium and how it is really easy to get started via the Selenium IDE.

But the easy-to-use experience ends before it really begins. The documentation for Selenium RC and Selenium Core are just terrible. It's a shame too, cuz I'm drooling over the prospect of automated usability testing. Especially the idea of writing a test that checks all my websites and sends me a text-message when something is broken.

For now I'm frustrated and want a break from it, but hopefully I'll pick this up again and make something useful.
