Well then, welcome to the wonderful world of *nix! You'll find that some man pages are helpful, and some not so much, and there's not much you can do about it.
But when it comes to getting info out of your fellow geek, you can greatly increase your expected bounty by asking a question in a way which shows you've put thought, work, or both into solving your own problem.
Also, I don't know if it will help you much in the near-term, but try out the "apropos" command as well. It might lead you to some commands you will find useful. Having said that, I usually go straight to Google if I can't figure something out in about five minutes on the command line. Even if that doesn't result in the answer, I can at least say "I tried x and it didn't work. What's the right way?"
