There's the old standard xman, tkman, and I read the FreeBSD man pages under Netscape using rosettaman. tkman and rosettaman give me hypertext links from anything that looks like a man(1) reference. Way more useful than Windows help, which usually has me playing Juggling Windows trying to see both the information I'm trying to reference and the application I'm trying to use. Especially with those stupid little one-sentence popups they like.
