nice fbsd man pages...

Yeah, you'd better stick to the FreeBSD manpages.
Even though some commands might be the same on different types of *nix, their options usually aren't.
It gets really confusing if you're reading the Solaris or Linux man pages while working on FreeBSD.

That's a bluff. For example, getutxent(3) is available in /head for more than a half year and man.freebsd.org still has no page for it.

About gsp.com, their gcc(1) lists gcc-3.4.6. How ancient can they be? /stable/6 (aka RELENG_6), the only branch that still has gcc34, have an EOL around the door (30 Nov 2010).

But having man pages from those other commands documenting what they do makes it easier to translate them to FreeBSD.

Okay, change it to "...all RELEASED versions...". And of course it's no guarantee that everything has a man page, just saying they're on line.

I can't find a PR for getutxent(3) (note the subtle implications), so maybe the responsible people don't know it's missing.

Looks to be outdated...

Nice man pages at home for free:
- install most (ports/sysutils/most)
- define PAGER (setenv PAGER /usr/local/bin/most)
$ man man

For those using KDE, konqueror can read manual or info pages (use man:/ or info:/ as URL)
