[geeks] Common Unix knowledge

[Michael Schiller]

Hi All.

I've recently subscribed to a mailing list about OSX. One of the 
list-members who has just written a book about Unix on OSX for Mac 
users asked a question, and I was shocked that an author of a book 
about Unix would ask such a question:

> : In /usr/share/man there are 9 cat directories, which contain man 
> pages. What
> : exactly are these, and why are these man pages not in the man 
> folders?

Am I just too familiar with Unix, thinking that this is common 
knowledge?
