RE: [SLUG] Debian Manuals

["Shanna Daly" <SDaly@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi mick

In my travels after installing Debian I have found a myriad of helpful
websites, from installing to configuring. Forums are often the best
place (as with irc) to get some live help from people when you are
having problems!

http://www.debianhelp.org/
http://www.aboutdebian.com/

just a couple of pages ive found useful!

Hi All,

After a busy few weeks I finally had the oppurtunity to sit down and
start to 
look around my new Debian Woody install.  I still don't have Xwindows
cause 
my radeons not supported.  I wanted to start getting to know this OS,
when I 
started with RedHat, I had a nice BIG book to read from.

Is there a BIG book of Debian, either downloadable or bought that is
highly 
recommended for Newbies.  (Advanced Network Administration for Debian
Servers 
is out of the question, something more of the "Using Debian ... the How
to 
find your arse with both hands guide.", type flavour)

I find it embarressing to keep posting simplistic questions when most
posts 
seem to deal with 
	"redirecting /var/spoong/thingo/tango/charlie to less|more| and 
thensome/headache/var/null/ to get your usb printer working because they
left 
:icky/icky/wangna/print/this out of the build in kernel version
1.1.Sanders.

I need a little |less information and lot more HOWTO.  I've wasted money
on 
books that didn't accomplish what they claimed to set out.  I was hoping
some 
of the Debian community could help me get on track quickly, without
pestering 
the slug post.

Yours 

Mick
