Man-pages - section 9 (kernel reference guide) -- would someone please help me?!?

Post by Rui Antun » Fri, 10 Nov 2000 04:00:00



I have RedHat 7.0 that comes without the section 9 (kernel reference
guide) of the man-pages. Where can I find those man-pages?

        Thanks in advance,
                                                Rui Antunes

To learn about the Linux kernel, try;

www.linuxhq.com/guides/TLK/tlk.html

This site has many man-pages - but all without section 9!

But those are in html format - I meant man-pages in the "linux-man"
format... (but thanks anyway!)

That's just the way it is with Linux.

For less chaotic, better organized free Unix you should try
FreeBSD. It doesn't have a multitude of HOWTO's, scores of books etc
etc, but has one "official" handbook that is all you need, has all
sections of manpages (nothing gets in -stable without proper
documentation) and a sound design.

*Note*: I don't mean to put off Linux! Just Linux and FreeBSD have
different focusses IMO: FreeBSD tries to be a more conservetive but
standard UNIX, slower but better organized and is easier to maintain
(for an experienced UNIX user, not for newbies since there aren't all
these non standard graphical tools for system management like for
Linux).

Linux is of course where the action is, has newer drivers for more
hardware, more commercial apps (though many run in FreeBSD's excellent
Linux emulator at full speed), all kinds of graphical tools for system
management (albeit different between Linux distros). It depends on
what want from your OS and on your own background.
