You might want to search in your package manager and find out which packages are available.
Some packages have a <package>-doc package that includes documentation. Other packages will install a manpage file & an info manual. If you find the manpage useful and would like to print it out, I'd recommend using "man -t <topic> | lpr". Sometimes having a printed version of the documentation while running the program is useful. If you will be working in a virtual console exclusively, I would recommend the screen program, although switching between virtual terminals is handy as well.
