Now, as you have described what you want to do it is a lot easier to give advice. Have you said that before i would have written the following a week ago:

My suggestion is to set up a Wiki for this. You can group the articles via categories and this way create a structure, while retaining all the free-text capabiliies a database would deny you, With a database you will have to decide on the structure beforehand, with a Wiki you can (re-)design as you go. Start somewhere and over time the documentation will mature.

Still, some planning is not bad before you start to write: lay out a basic category structure and you might want to create some templates for more record-oriented data (servers, networks, SAN shares, ...). A server description template with properties like hostname, resources, OS version/release, IP address, etc. is quite similar to a table layout in a database: you define properties of a (class of) objects - here it is records in a table, there it is articles with an identical layout.

Setup of a Wiki is straightforward and takes typically some minutes, not more. An advantage is that the information is propagated via a web server, so you do not have to take it with you and the only tool you need to work with it is a web browser.
