Now there is a great idea. After reading the above article,
I immediately created a rtfm shell script in the local bin.
I wonder who many novice users actuall use this command.

Maybe I should start making that a standard command on all systems
I install, then when some one phones for support with a stupid question
I can tell them to try rtfm (and hope they have a sense of humor :-).
