Are you feeling a little down lately? Why not open a Linux terminal and read some man pages. Well, not those man pages that can sometimes make our head spin. I'm talking about the funny man pages that will make you laugh out loud.But first, you have to install the 'funny-manpages' package via Synaptic Package Manager (assuming you are using Ubuntu).

If those ‘Funny Linux Man Pages’ didn’t make you laugh, perhaps these manual pages developed on alt.sysadmin.recovery (asr) will do. ASR manpages document a set of really useful tools that for some strange reason are not included in any implementation of Unix.Once again, a little warning: View these man pages at your own risk, as you may find some of them rather offensive...

"The Official Perl 5 Wiki now has a total of 893 pages, and 284 pages wanted by other pages. That means that 1000 pages is well within reach - pick from the "most wanted" page or the "wishlist", or even better - add more content to the many short pages already there such as mod_perl, applications, etc. Other pages that would be cool to add would be ..."

Wikipedia defines man pages as “extensive documentation that comes preinstalled with almost all substantial Unix and Unix-like operating systems”. Just as the definition goes sometimes the documentation is so extensive that you are unable to find the data you need.

Actually it’s not a big deal to find a particular word. You would have noticed that the usual Ctrl+F won’t work here.

Linux and other Unix-like operating systems use the term "swap" to describe both the act of moving memory pages between RAM and disk, and the region of a disk the pages are stored on. It is common to use a whole partition of a hard disk for swapping.

Have you ever had someone tell you to “RTFM” (aka: “Read The Flippin’ Man page”) only to realize you have no idea what man pages were?

UNIX has hundreds if not thousands of commands, and it's impossible to remember every option and nuance. But, happily, you don't have to: man, UNIX's built-in, online reference system, is man's best friend. Take a look at this shortcut guide to the UNIX man pages system.

Purveyors of spyware and adware will try to take advantage of well known programs, illegitimately bundling their software into the install of the popular software... The latest example is found on the fake Firefox download site below.

This is for you new to Linux users out there who are still not sure about things and are a bit panicky with the "CLI", "Command Line Interface." Go slow, ask questions, and above all, when in doubt: check the "man pages"
