And *when* should a 'newbie' discover man pages??? IMHO, never. I've been trying to decipher them since I first started using RedHat 4.2 back in the '90s and still have yet to glean anything useful out of them.

We would be senselessly handicapping ourselves by avoiding the man pages sitting right there on our systems.
