Add to your soap-box: the standard 'man' is disregarded, you are left to use (non-standard) info.

There's a man -k call, I haven't found an info -k equivalent.

Yes, there's a great calling for thankless man page writing in the *nix world.

Perhaps I'm just extremely lucky, but I've not run into this magic 1TB 
barrier that I see bandied about here.  Heck, if you're willing to 
roll the dice on Hitachi drives, you can get a terabyte these days 
with just 2 hard disks in the array with RAID0 or 3 disks with RAID5.
Unfortunately, a lot of the documentation and FAQs are quite out of 
date which can lead to some confusion.
    


Grrrrrrrrrrr, 1 of my *long time* complaints w/ Linux (any Linux, 
apparently) is that nobody bothers to keep 
man-pages/FAQS/other-documentation up to date. The cron(8) on my SuSE 
9.2 P4 is dated 1996 (!!!). I lay this at the feet of the distro folks 
myself, but none of them have taken it up :-) ....

  

I have tried to find tools to convert info pages to man, but no luck. I *think* there are tex-to-man tools, but the tex data (from which info documents normally come) isn't always installed .... The combination of man & less is about the best text-based info system I could dream up. Oh well ....
