I don't know which Linux distribution you're using, but the man pages, info files and other documents on all my systems (Debian, Mandrake, two different Red Hat releases) are very thorough and quite useful.

I guess it depends on what you are used to. The UNIX man pages did seem pretty cool, when I first encountered them twenty years ago. What the linux weenies fail to recognize is, the rest of the world on has moved on since then.
