   I agree,  The first time I tried Linux I bought Red Hat 5.2 and I ran    
   into a problem.  When I asked on the relevant NG I was told to read the    
   man page, which was useless information as I didnt know what a man page    
   was and it wasnt in the DOCs believe it or not!   
      
   This is where Ubuntu is ahead, there is nothing spectacular about the    
   distro, its the knowledge base repository in plain English and the    
   helpful users!  Go Ubuntu!
