That is a nice website.  However, some knowledge is assumed.  Like, how 
would I know to even look at a command like "grep"?  Review them all and 

tuck them away for general knowledge?  Sort of like reading the RPG doc, 

and at least giving a cursory glance, at every RPG op code?

I'm coming from the perspective of already having a vague idea of what 
most of them do.  Unix and variants usually have a command called 
"apropos", which AFAIK searches the description portion of the man page.

There is an online "apropos" built in to the expert mode this site:

for some details on how to use this site, see:
'http://www.nada.kth.se/datorer/externdok/man-on-the-web.html#index

Perhaps with a combo of the two you could get somewhere.  The book 
suggested earlier may be an easier way to start out though.

HTH,
Adam
