This is by no means meant to start a flame war.
I am trying to learn linux. Been at it for 6 months or so. I have learned quite a bit. I have 4 distros that I am multi-booting with XP. When I have a problem or question I either google the web or search within a given forum.
Sometimes in a howto or forum post there will be a reference to checking a man page. (ex. from the command line type man sudo)
I haven't used man pages a lot. I have looked at some but haven't gotten a lot from them. My questions are addressed to those that are new to Linux.
Do you use man pages a great deal?
Am I missing out on a great learning tool?
Thanks in advance for your input.
