SPECIFIC TO DEBIAN AND FEDORA
The Debian and Fedora TeX Live packages texdoc use the mime-support package to determine the appropriate viewer for the respective file type except for dvi. texdoc of Debian and Fedora is able to handle gzip- and bzip2-compressed files. If texdoc finds more than on file for a string the first hit is displayed. The file extensions are regarded and the search order can be configured in texmf.cnf (90TeXDoc.cnf).
