The first time you use info (often when
looking for help in the Emacs text editor), it can be a little overwhelming, but it is not
too hard to deal with after you have a feel for it. Read the info tutorial (type info info)
to learn more.
Many man pages are on the web, and you can search both man and info pages in the
openSUSE Help Center. Start looking for man pages at the Linux Documentation Project.
Then try going to http://www.google.com/linux to search.

TIP
Use apropos and whatis to find what you need. If you know what you want to do but
are not sure about the tool to use, type apropos
at the shell prompt.
Apropos will search the NAME section of each man page (which includes a brief
description of the tool??™s purpose) and display a list of programs and commands that
may help. It??™s not foolproof, but even if you don??™t find exactly the right tool, you may get
on the road to finding what you really need.
The whatis program does the inverse of apropos. Suppose you couldn??™t remember what
the acronym ???bash??? stood for.
