To: The Great Satan
Whenever I have to use Linux, it's like being transported back in time 30 or 40 years -- or like being in the Soviet Union. Everything is old and moldy, nothing works, there's no service, no documentation, everything is "being fixed." No documentation?
- The Linux Documentation Project, searchable online HOWTOs and other documentation
- xman ('man' if you prefer console)
- info <topic> or info and use info's built-in search functions
- apropos <search string>
- /usr/share/doc/ (/usr/doc/ on older distributions)
- if you still can't find it, this will search all the online man pages:
$ find `man -w | tr : ' '` -type f | xargs zgrep -l '<search string>' | sed 's!.*/\(.*\).[0-9]$!\1!'

Oh please, what BS! I mean real, usable documentation, not cheesy, half-finished UNIX man pages with lame, apologetic little geek jokes and TODO placeholders.
