This is "Enterprise"?

Note: This extract from IRC gives all the background for this story that you might need:

<ceri> damn, i managed to get "learn linux" on my objectives for the next six months :(
<flz> hahahaha
<linimon> ceri: just tell yourself it's exactly like FreeBSD but with everything stupid.

I was looking at the requirements for RHCE certification and got to:

  • use lftp to access FTP URLs

I hadn’t heard of lftp before, so I skipped to the manual page and saw this in the list of lftp commands and their documentation:

   echo [-n] string
      guess what it does.

This is in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Just the kind of comprehensive documentation that enterprises like to bet the farm on. I understand why BSD documentation is praised so highly now.

    I actually like lftp, but i never read the documentation. Of the advantage of having a basesystem, you don't have to rely on thirdparty docwriters :-)
