It isn't yet, but that's something on my todo list as Ruth Hoffman (who helped with the current document) has expressed interest in helping to update it.
I don't think something as specific as deployment on a certain flavor and version of Linux should go into the Basic Product Setup Guide, but it could certainly go in the general wiki. There may already be some of this sort of thing in the old wiki. You don't need any special permissions to create/edit pages in the new Confluence server (docs.ofbiz.org), just create an account and go to the wiki space and you can create pages right away.

It doesn't intercept DB reads or writes, everything still runs locally against the database. All it does is asynchronously (and in the background) move data between servers as configured in the EntitySync setup.
