  • CentOS:
    • Unfortunately, the CentOS project has decided to not publish it's manual pages online.
      Your best choice for finding online information about CentOS commands would be the links for Debian above,
      or a project like The Linux man-pages project or Linux man pages @ die.net.
      Keep in mind that paths to files and directories in those documentations
      may differ from those on CentOS.
      Obviously, the CentOS man pages are available at the CentOS command line.
