I went to vger.kernel.org and there is "There is much information about Linux on the web." which points to 7 different 3rd party websites. I searched for "manual" and "manpage" in all 7 and didn't find any mention of manual pages. I also suggest the http://kernel.org/links.html to be structured according to topic, and not according to name of the website. Because if the user comes, he mostly needs to know information about particular topic. This way he doesn't know which link to click to obtain the information. Furthermore I suggest "Manuals" section to be added to vger.kernel.org in the style OpenBSD has: http://openbsd.org/ http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi CL< - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
