I'll stash that link. Manpages are a great way to check out an
application or utility to see if you want to install it or learn
how to relate to the program's output if someone sends it to you,
or you need to talk to it on another box, and so on.

Very valuable resource. It can take forever to find man pages and
other docs web-searching, if you even can.

30,000+ man pages, huh? A bit intimidating.

I've got 'only' 675 executables on this machine.

(newbies: hit Tab twice on bash)

Thanks, Ralph,
