Vim Creep
I think it's better to use grep. Knowing the options to apropos has very low value. Knowing grep has lots and lots of value.

I agree. I have no idea how to use `find`. I always do `find . | grep whatever`, since I know the basics of grep.

Learning find is a worthy investment.
find ./ -name "*.log" -size +2G -ctime +3 | xargs -P 8 gzip
Will find all log files over 2 gigs and older than 3 days. Then it will gzip them split across 8 parallel gzip processes.
