Is it possible to print out the aptitude manual [aptitude~>help~>user's manual] in ubuntu or debian. I just find it a pain trying to take in reading .txt just from a screen. I've got aptitude(8) from man aptitude in terminal. I was hoping it might have been transferred to a pdf somewhere.
Man pages are often available in HTML format on the Web. For example, Googling for aptitude man page gave this:

Personally, I would stick with screen reading, though. Once you've printed it you'll inevitably find that you don't need it after a few hours.
Also, I, for one, wouldn't have any objections to you asking questions about aptitude (or other related stuff) here :-)

Thanks for that link but that is the terminal~> man aptitude(8) one which i've got. I think i'll just have to screen read... i like a bit of bedtime reading! Before asking questions i like to find out as much as i can - i've had one or two RTFM. Which is a bit ignorant when you want to find out something but are unsure where to go.
