FreeBSD is a cool OS, especially as a work machine. Once, I almost joined a company where my first assignment was to install FreeBSD on my work computer. It worked really well, and I actually liked using xfce. What a time! I was young, the grass was green, and the skies were blue.

Typing “man $something” and getting actual good documentation rather than “use infodoc you uncultured swine” was always a bonus too.

Back when such things were my deal, the FreeBSD docs were a breath of fresh air. It was like the whole platform was designed intentionally rather than the pile of cobbled together components that most Linux distros felt like.

Quote of the year. I see you hate info almost as much as I do.

Ha yes let me just agree with you both that info is trash. It's the GNU way to make things unnecessarily difficult. If it was easy then any commoner could do it. By making things difficult they ensure that only the most dedicated acolytes can succeed, and everyone else is unworthy and pitiable.

man should just handle info transparently.
