As Rick Smith noted, "less" is the standard man pager on most Linux
distributions. I too found this annoying at first coming from SunOS.
You quit from less by hitting "q" or you can change pagers thusly:
MANPAGER
If MANPAGER is set, its value is used as the name
of the program to use to display the man page. If
not, then PAGER is used. If that has no value
either, /usr/bin/less -isr is used.
