I use Linux here as well, but I have to contradict you on
this one. The man
pages (in my opinion) do not explain anything, they merely
remind you of the
relevant command syntax if you already know what you're
doing. Info pages
are a bit better, but don't even come close to being
available for most
commands.

Here, here ! I highly agree. Unless a person is asking for a specific command or is experienced saying "Read the man" is of no help. Also, every man page is different, some are extensive and some are not. It all depends on who wrote them.
