Man pages are of limited use.  Some are genuinely helpful, others 
require a degree in computer engineering to understand.  The rest are 
worse than useless.  In general a real mixed bag.  For the most part I 
have found the advice "read the man page" to be unhelpful for the 
beginner.  Why?  Most man pages are not written with the beginner in 
mind, but the *nix expert.

Relative "read the man page" newbie reporting.
