Another thing to consider: on my main Debian Linux box at home, this script finds roughly 20k man pages, which would take more than fifty years to read them all if you are reading one a day. Granted, I have tons of stuff installed, you could read more than one a day, reading a random one will lead to/make you aware of what's available on your system, etc, etc. Perhaps I should write up a blog post about this whole experience . . .
