Documentation is going to vary from distribution to distribution. Generally speaking, there will of course be the core documentation (provided you have it installed - some distributions do not install documentation by default) which comes with the GNU utilities that make up the OS. You typically would read this documentation via the man pages, though some prefer the GNU info pages as well. For example, if I want to know what the -v option for pkill does (a good thing to know, by the way), I would look at the pkill (1) man page. These man pages, which document utilities generally used on on all Linux systems, will be more or less consistent. On the other hand, distribution specific details may or may not be well documented. Not much you can do about this - as it is up to those who put the distribution together.
