>There is an incredible amount of documentation available for Linux
|
|
and its applications. Most of this can be found on the web and in your
|
|
local bookstore, but you will probably find that a large quantity of
|
|
useful documentation is already available to you, having been loaded as
|
|
part of the Red Hat Linux installation procedure.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>The man pages are a must-view when you are trying to figure out how
|
|
a command works. For example, if you are trying to figure out how to use
|
|
the ``tar'' utility, you could type ``<TT
|
|
CLASS="LITERAL"
|
|
>man tar</TT
|
|
>'' and be
|
|
provided with a very verbose description of tar including all of its
|
|
command-line options.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>You can find more general information in the
|
|
``<TT
|
|
CLASS="LITERAL"
|
|
><TT
|
|
CLASS="FILENAME"
|
|
>/usr/doc/</TT
|
|
></TT
|
|
>'' directory. Here
|
|
you will find subdirectories which include documentation on utilities and
|
|
commands, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) documents, as well as HOWTO
|
|
documents providing good instruction on a variety of topics, such as how
|
|
to set up networking, or install support for the Japanese
|
|
language.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>You should also look in the
|
|
``<TT
|
|
CLASS="LITERAL"
|
|
><TT
|
|
CLASS="FILENAME"
|
|
>/usr/info/</TT
|
|
></TT
|
|
>'' directory which
|
|
contains tutorials on utilities, libraries, and applications such as
|
|
emacs.</P

|

>Finally, you should visit the Red Hat User's Frequently Asked Questions

(FAQ) document at <A
