I just downloaded Debian GNU/Linux 1.3 and am using bash as the shell. I am completely new to the Linux/Unix world, so forgive me if any of these questions seem foolish. Whenever I try to use the manual for a command by typing "man", bash tells me it can't find the command "man". Could someone please tell me what directory "man" is in so I can put it in my path? Could this be a problem with Debian, and if it is what distribution of Linux is a good one to get? Also, I'm thinking of buying "Running Linux" by Matt Welsh and Lar Kaufman. Is this a good book to get if I know almost nothing now and want to become a fairly advanced user? If not, what books would be good for those goals? And are there any books that I really should get in addition to "Running Linux"? Last question, I'm interested in learning to program Linux drivers, and maybe even debuging the kernal. What language are these thing coded in, or what language would I have to learn if I want to do these things? Thanks a lot.
