I guess from the codename (shrike). It's not MDK, for sure.  |

Hi Saver
As everyone has said, the Linux Documentation project is definately worth checking out.
On a different front - a good general site for looking into the various Linux distributions is:
www.distrowatch.com
It's makes a nice contrast to the other stuff. |

Tutorials are fine, but don't underestimate the power of the system help for some things.
A couple of simple hints: (don't include the <>)
man <whatever program>
info <whatever program>
apropos <any word>
apropos is my favorite. It can often give you clues to look under topics you haven't thought of yet.
Of course, you might want to use 'less' to read the pages easier.
Example:
apropos shell | less |
