* James Mohr;
Hmmmmm. Obviously you are not refering to the HOWTOs. They are intended to explain HOWTO do something and thus are tutorial in nature and not just reference. Although I would agree that the man-pages are references, "most" of the documentation I am aware of it tutorial in nature and not just for reference. So much stems from the time when there wasn't any documentation on how to do things so people wrote *tutorials* telling you how.
I would rate the current Linux Howto's as "Here is how I did it" they are far away to be called as tutorials. -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
