Cheers Al,

Mucho appreciado as they say in Spanglish!

I'm bookmarking all those command type links and similar stuff - the
closest that I've actually found myself is 

http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Commands

but even that is a bald list (granted a quite helpful list).

One thing that has crossed my mind was how easy it might be to have like
a cross between a dictionary and thesaurus for linux commands, but
possibly laid out in a "how do I do.........." (a la mandrake), task
orientated?

Oh and it would have to be written in a "plain english" as opposed to
the formatted and technical language of man pages and TLDP howto's etc
etc.

Still at the moment, it's just that, a thought!

Again, thanks for the link.

regards

John D.
