Not yet. People tend to be more forgivable when software is given free, but yeah nobady said that

As for the manuals I'd like to see man pages for the stuff as well. As it is there is no man command. Not sure if the man pages are installed and only the man command is missing.
I would be very very happy if someone could find these manuals.

And after installing some software from repositories I´m still quite puzzled how programs works. Most of them are quite easy to learn but it will sometimes take couple of hours to find ways to use program efficently. For example keyboard shortcuts...They are never ever obvious as someone could think. It would really speed up things if there was somekind of manual that developer had to write before going to extra or main repository.
