Exit Man Page in Linux/Unix

 Whenever i ran "Man" in linux or unix i had a peculiar problem of not  being able to exit man using ctrl+D or ctrl+C commands.I used to close the terminal to exit :-)

Today i figured out that all i had to do is press 'q' on my keyboard. How silly of me.

Check out:Tips & Tricks for using "Man" effectively

My Tryst with Linux takes me to openSUSE 11.4/GNOME 3.0

Salient features of Gnome 3.0

==>No more start menu
==>Huge icons everwhere
==>OS looks more like a mobile computing device like iphone
==>It is written in javascript(yep you heard it right ,javascript)
==>To shutdown you need to press "ALT" to toggle suspend to "poweroff".It
seems Gnome developers never shutdown their machines
