H is for Help and Documentation

Do you find man difficult? Do you struggle to remember the switches for that program? Do you ever wonder how or why?

During Linux Camp, we cover the "helpful fist of five":

  1. --help
  2. man|info
  3. /usr/share/doc/
  4. https://(product-team).org
  5. https://www.duckduckgo.com

Let's dive into that. Learn how to search in man and follow links in info, at least.

Bring access to a Linux box. If you don't have access to a Linux box, let us know in the comments, and we'll set you up.

Rally track plays at 6:55pm. Class starts promptly at 7.

Price: 8 USD https://paypal.me/sfs303 or Pay What You Choose

This is a hybrid class. Comment whether you'll be participating online or in-person.
