My fault for being defensive then. I've been told I come across harsh by
people. I generally have poor communication skills, in my opinion. And
text is easy to misinterpret. But cool. I'm glad you got something out of
my explanation. That rocks.

Besides the man pages, which you now know how to work... also see the
man -k function to search for key words. Further, should you ave the time,
do the info tutorial. "info info" will show you how to use the info
system. Its sort of like man pages, but more in depth(sometimes), they're
hyprelinked together and (once you get used to it) easier to navigate.
That all said, grep combined with the HOWTO's and rfc's is a very handy
tool indeed. Generally speaking the answer to your question is often on
your harddrive somewhere. Unless you're using very new software, someone
else has had the same problem as you have :)
That system usually works for me. And like you've pointed out, there's
always here, google and a bunch of other places.
