I'm running Mandrake 8.0 at the moment so just for the sheer hell of it typed man man and what do you know?
Seems mine's the stinker, I reinstalled since I last tried it. I just thought a lack of a man man was some hilarious UNIX joke. ha ha.
Well, I always thought my pc was an envoy of Satan, sent down (up?) to this world to cause me great confuZion. Hence it's hostname (which, quite frankly, is not repeatable), which originated from the stream of expletives I've hurled at it since I installed Linux! >:)
Oh well...
