Try using:

man <program you would like to find more info about>
./configure
make
make install

That should get you going in the wonderful world of linux.

Don't forget about all the documentation stored on /usr/share/doc! This directory usually contains very valuable information about the packages installed on the system. It may differ on some distros and be under /usr/doc or something similar.
