128 Start-Up<br />

Another possibility to display a man page is to use Konqueror. Start Konqueror and<br />

type, for example, man:/ls. If there are different categories for a command, Konqueror<br />

displays them as links.<br />

4.3 Info Pages<br />

Info pages are another important source <strong>of</strong> information on your system. Usually they<br />

are more verbose than man pages. You can browse an info page with an info viewer<br />

and display the different sections, called “nodes.” Use the command info for this task.<br />

For example, to view the info page <strong>of</strong> info itself, type info info in the shell.<br />

For more convenience, use the Help Center or Konqueror. Start Konqueror and type<br />

info:/ to view the top level. To display the info page for grep, type info:/grep.<br />

4.4 The Linux <strong>Documentation</strong> Project<br />

The Linux <strong>Documentation</strong> Project (TLDP) is run by a team <strong>of</strong> volunteers who write<br />

Linux and Linux-related documentation (see http://www.tldp.org). The set <strong>of</strong><br />

documents contains tutorials for beginners, but is mainly focused on experienced users<br />

and pr<strong>of</strong>essional system administrators. TLDP publishes HOWTOs, FAQs, and guides<br />

(handbooks) under a free license.<br />

4.4.1 HOWTOs<br />

HOWTOs are usually a short, informal, step-by-step guide to accomplishing a specific<br />

task. It is written by experts for nonexperts in a procedural manner. For example, how<br />

to configure a DHCP server. HOWTOs can be found in the package howto and are<br />

installed under /usr/share/doc/howto<br />

4.4.2 Frequently Asked Questions<br />

FAQs (frequently asked questions) are a series <strong>of</strong> questions and answers. They originate<br />

from Usenet newsgroups where the purpose was to reduce continuous reposting <strong>of</strong> the<br />

same basic questions.
