That page says

manual pages
    Traditionally, all Unix programs are documented with manual 
pages, reference manuals made available through the man command. 
They usually aren't meant for beginners. You can search for and 
read the manual pages available in Debian in 
http://manpages.debian.org/.

"http://manpages.debian.org/"; is a link to 
http://manpages.debian.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi

http://manpages.debian.org/ gives the "Welcome to glinka!" 
message.> http://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals
