That's going to be complicated because every program you install becomes a new command, and some commands could be books all to themselves. There's also the complication that there are several variations to how documentation for Linux commands is prepared and maintained. All packages are *supposed* to include man pages, but that can be a bit spotty for some of the commands maintained by smaller groups or individuals.
The man command will display summaries for each command and details. Some commands use the info command, and some supply HTML pages (which I personally detest). Example: 'man ls' will display a manual page for the ls command. If you're not sure of the exact command, try 'man -k' and a keyword, eg 'man -k mail' will get you all the commands that contain the keyword 'mail' somehow. The commands that use 'info' (usually things originating in the GNU project like GCC) work with similar syntax, but they bring up a full screen browser to navigate the documentation. Info tends to be used for more complex applications, like emacs. The emacs documentation is a full-scale book of it's own. Your best bet is a good Unix book like the O'reilly sysadmin guides. You can usually get copies of them at better tech bookstores (alas for Computer Literacy....sigh...
