Having read a few of the commands, I suddenly wish many of the man pages and help (not all) of common GNU/Linux commands could be re-written in the plainest and simplest of language, like this, or re-ordered with a simplistic explanation at the beginning and more detailed further down the file. Most commands on GNU/Linux require no background knowledge, or knowledge of the more powerful applications of the command and their man pages tend to just get in your way, even though they are clear and precise; by necessity they are difficult to read (since their goal is usually completeness, rather than accessibility).
