You want to read a man page for `foo.' *Actually* read it, not just do a quick search or just consult the command-line switches.
Do you: _____

@RL_Dane The GNOME Help app can view manpages (at least on Ubuntu?) but the UX of getting there is bad (I'm frustrated to say this but I am definitely not surprised about that).
Come to think of it, `man foo > foo` then viewing foo with a plaintext editor sounds like an OK idea. Except the width might be narrow.
@RL_Dane Yeah I've used xman before XD
@golemwire
It's kind of out of place, unless you're also using twm, xbiff, xeyes, xload, etc. And if your computer says SPARCStation on the front, even better.
X"-D
@golemwire
There's also xman, which is horrible in other ways X"-D
I'm going to generate a script that calls man2html and caches the manpages for quick retrieval, and opens them in Dillo (because why waste *everything* on firefox when viewing man pages?!?) ;]
