One time I briefly looked at the man pages of all the binaries under /{bin,sbin} /usr/{bin,sbin} that I didn't know about. A basic Debian install has only 555 binaries (https://pastebin.com/raw/VnrqDdq0 https://pastebin.com/raw/VnrqDdq0). Maybe 100-200 are new to you and are worth checking out. Do it.
- js2 9y agoThis is a good strategy. I grew up on SunOS before Linux. It had (has?) a fantastic set of man pages. You could start with "man intro" and go from there. Looks like it still leads you to the "1M System Administration" section: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19683-01/816-0211/6m6nc66m6/index.html https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19683-01/816-0211/6m6nc66m6/inde... The Linux intro man pages are still pretty useless sadly.
