I prefer the 'info' command. I provides more in-depth coverage, and if
no info documents exist, it just displays the man page anyway.
Become familiar with apt (apt-get, apt-cache) since it is used to
install software in Debian. This is one of the many beauties of Debian
since apt retrieves packages and their dependencies and makes installing
software a snap. Aptitude is a front-end to apt and even provides more
functionality.
