10.5 Local Resources

If you need help with particular commands when running Linux then you can look in the Linux manual pages (man pages) for the command you need help with. Simply type the following to get help: 

man {command}

On most distributions of Linux you will find you have a directory of documentation available to you. This is usually located under the /usr/doc directory or the /usr/share/doc directory. If you go into these directories then you should be able to find some documentation on software installed on your system.

The best place to look for documentation relating specifically to installing your particular distribution and version of Linux is on the installation media (usually CDs). Documentation is commonly found on either the first CD, the last CD or a special documentation CD.

10.6 News Groups

Personally I don't tend to use newsgroups much so if you have suggestions for this section then they will be particularly welcome.
