@jpmens Yes. Even if you don't use Arch Linux, this is often the best place to get actual and useful documentation.

@jpmens Arch is the OpenBSD of Linux for documentation.

@cynicalsecurity so true <3

I'd go as far to say that the manpages are one of #openbsd main and most valuable feature.

It's seems confusing first to not fire up a browser and search for a howto blog (or the arch wiki) - no you just type "man" or "apropos" into your system console - the crazy thing: this even works if the internet is down, as you are currently setting up your internet router ;P

@alios absolutely and, for those of us who grew up with UUCP, the Version 7 man pages was all we had!
