[brlug-general] Learning the command line

[Joe Fruchey]

I need to keep a notebook. When I read something about "you can use
this command to do this," I think to myself, /no way, that's
awesome!/, but then I forget it. man -k for instance. But that did jog
my memory that apropos is the same command.

You're right. I guess it's memorization time.
