accessing man pages

I have a few questions about man pages

How may I view the manpages in something else other than terminal?

In the terminal how may I exit a man page?

Thanks in advance!

To exit a man page, press the "q" key. Where else were you thinking of viewing the pages? They are all online.

To exit a man page just press 'q'. To read a man page in the browser, Google for man XXX. ;-)

Yeah there are ways to view man pages. Like previously posted google, or you can type

$ xman &

To make it a background job (in your shell). You'll see a little small white box come up. You should know what to do from there =)
