Awesome Man Pages online

http://www.linuxmanpages.com/

Just found this site and it's great. Any command that plagues you on your system is viewable online.

Learned about Zenity today thru the site. In case you don't know zenity lets you make GUI dialogs that will feed into your scripts. I'm making a bunch of nautilus scripts to add to the new build of LAVA and wanted to make easy context sensitive options in nautilus to run emulators on the system. I used to write it all in bash, now with zenity I can give it more of a polished ui.

Of course you can always open up a console windows and type 'man zenity' but this site is formated well and also is PRINTABLE :)

Check it out. I think you'll find it a valuable lookup page.
