Isn't it even better to include both? If we say, "More information is available via info gcc.", then the information is only available to users of GNU systems, which means we're preaching to the choir.Perhaps, instead of rewriting the wheel (heh), there could be links to the already existing documents, and the guide can contain conventions/commands/extras/etc.Please don't use links (as in URL's) in manuals unless it is _really_ important. Just to be able to read the link you need to have an internet connection, and this is sometimes hard to get, or plain impossible. Using info references is OK, since one can install the document in question on the harddisk, and it can be bundled with the software.
Also, many people have access to non-UNIXish computers via work or school (I know I do, I first learned about the Hurd using an NT box), so including a hyperlink can be quite helpful.
