[Wolves] Linux man pages

[Chris Maggs]

I want to make a database (MySQL) of them so I can access them in work
(or from anywhere really!) where I don't have access to Linux. I'll be
putting them on a public webpage along with other hints and tips for
Linux users (new and experienced!) as I pick them up.

Visitors will also be able to add their tips and so forth. Basically I
want to try and make a Linux Help page. I know there's loads out there
but the more coverage we get the better in my eyes!
