I'm learning assembly (for fun--I can't find any real justification beyond that). I read that I aught to be able to do "man 2 write" to see the manual for the write sys call, but I don't have it. Is there a package I need to install to see these man pages?

Go into Synaptic package manager and install "manpages-dev". This will give you the system call and library call man pages.

Install manpages-dev (apt://manpages-dev)
