This thread is to discuss the article titled: Easy 'info' guide

But what if your system doesn't have info.
I tried installing texinfo but that doesn't seem to give me the program info.

Well, you could try the man pages, or this electronic bookshelf: http://www.mamiyami.com/document/oreilly/
or this:

Quote>For those of you new to Linux/the command line, I suggest stopping in at 'info coreutils' first. This is a list of all commands basic to Linux (and most Unix's as well).<

Got my hopes up at this point.
But alas, I did type 'info coreutils' into a terminal, and have no idea how to use the information, except to embark on deep study course.
I suppose when I get to be fluent in linux, I too will be unable to actually imagine what IS basic essential information for newbies lol, no offence meant, I do appreciate motives and effort behind your work, it's just that it's not useful to me. maybe I am the dumbest person in galaxy.
But I will learn linux if I live long enough.

Nice short concise guide, good work.

One thing for sure info is a bit easier on the eyes than just doing man foo.


As for newbie docs @widda : the below should cover pretty much anything what they don't a quick Google search will.
Linux Man Pages - http://linuxmanpages.com/
The Linux Documentation Project - http://tldp.org/
http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Karmic
Official Ubuntu Documentation - https://help.ubuntu.com/ First place to look should be your distros documentation.
LINUX: Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition - http://linux.2038bug.com/rute-home.html

I suggest (No hoax, try it).
