Actually, the quality of the manpages was one of the reasons i tried openbsd and one of the reasons i emphasize when i try to sell openbsd. > If careful scrutiny of an OpenBSD manual page leaves the impression > that information may be missing from the page, asking on misc@ is > a good idea and often results in an improvement of the manual page. reading both man pages and answers on mailing list makes me aware of other options, features, alternative ways to do things and think about the problems. this is so much enjoyable than copy pasting from a top rated stackoverflow answer. > Only for low-quality software, searching the web may occasionally > be needed. so true. thanks marc
