Look for useful commands with "apropos":
$ apropos foo
Only type one word; if you get too much output either pipe through a pager:
$ apropos foo | less
or through grep:
$ apropos foo | grep -i bar
or use my apropos2 <http://georgeanelson.com/apropos2.htm> . Apropos2 may
also appear in Fedora Extras someday.
I also make extensive use of Google, usually with the word "linux" and
whatever I'm really looking for.
