next, which i am missing, is some index-help-base in which you can enter a search word for instance "squid" and get a 2,3 line short description of what it is and a link to the concerned howto, minihowto and doc files.
is there anyrthing like that (before i am again inventing wheels...) or am i just blind and too pragmatically minded? A friend of mine was telling me about the 'what' command he discovered on his system. It seemed to combine the function of 'locate', telling him where in the filesystem it was placed, as well as searching the rpm database and telling him which package it was installed from. Very cool, but it isn't part of my SuSE 6.4 installation. Anybody know if this is hidden in some rpm I didn't install, or where I can get it?
