Another possibility to display a man page is to use Konqueror. Start Konqueror and
type, for example, man:/ls. If there are different categories for a command, Konqueror
displays them as links.
45.3 Info Pages
Info pages are another important source of information on your system. Usually they
are more verbose than man pages. You can browse an info page with an info viewer
and display the different sections, called "nodes." Use the command info for this task.
For example, to view the info page of info itself, type info info in the shell.
For more convenience, use the Help Center or Konqueror. Start Konqueror and type
info:/ to view the top level. To display the info page for grep, type info:/grep.
45.4 The Linux Documentation Project
The Linux Documentation Project (TLDP) is run by a team of volunteers who write
Linux and Linux-related documentation (see http://www.tldp.org). The set of
documents contains tutorials for beginners, but is mainly focused on experienced users
and professional system administrators. TLDP publishes HOWTOs, FAQs, and guides
(handbooks) under a free license.
45.4.1 HOWTOs
HOWTOs are usually a short, informal, step-by-step guide to accomplishing a specific
task. It is written by experts for nonexperts in a procedural manner. For example, how
to configure a DHCP server. HOWTOs can be found in the package howto and are
installed under /usr/share/doc/howto
45.4.2 Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs (frequently asked questions) are a series of questions and answers. They originate
from Usenet newsgroups where the purpose was to reduce continuous reposting of the
same basic questions.
