How are typical users expected to read the documentation in /usr/share/doc?

A way to search and view those docs using web browser is by Installing "dwww" but this needs apache2.2 to run in the back all the time.(It was creating port conflicts and I could not use XAMPP server without removing it.)

Is there any second alternative to view and search these ?

Can I just delete the whole "doc" folder ? Either I want to use them or delete.

You can run Apache (either the one from XAMPP or from Ubuntu) on a different port, this is an easy config change.

Info on Listen directive

On my machine, the file which contains the directive is /etc/apache2/ports.conf. Just edit it using

gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/ports.conf

change port to, say, 88:

NameVirtualHost *:88
Listen 88

and restart Apache:

sudo service apache2 restart

Then you can access it at http://localhost:88/

Or you can use Ubuntu's Apache and other packages instead of XAMPP - I never understood the need for it on a Linux system anyway.
