Hola, Maximiliano:
I have tried xman, and it lacks a lot of features that TkMan has. It allows
you to browse a directory of manual pages, select one and read it... and
that's all.
TkMan, on the other hand, has a lot of useful features that I won't repeat
here, because most of them are listed on the package description. In my
opinion, there is no comparison with xman.
I was going to try yelp, per your suggestion, but...
samara:~$ sudo apt-get install yelp
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done

Abort.
...I don't really think that 30 MB for a manpage reader is reasonable :-/.
What's the problem with TkMan? Isn't it maintained upstream?
