Re: Debian manual -- printed.

[shaul]

There is a link from debian home page to a free "book" like the one you are 
looking for (and other documentation).

I've found that any decent UNIX book is useful, especially if it has an
animal on the cover (O'Reilly & Associates).  Personally, I don't know
that Debian does anything "weird" or out of the ordinary, but then again
I may be blind to the problem :)

Well
www.cheapbytes.com ...they sell the:
"Debian User's Guide *ED1* Close-out price W/2 CDs"
 
>From the web page:
"This is Edition 1 of the Debian User's Guide. We are offering it at a 
close-out price. The book is aimed at Debian 1.3, but is still usefull for
Debian 2.0 since it covers such issues as dpkg and dselect"

The price (as I see now) is $13 (americain)

I seem to remember hearing something somewhere about a new version of
the book "on its way" or at least with some sort of not too far off
future date. Don't expect me to be right tho...my memory ois fuzzy

I knwo what you mean guess not everyone has laser printers :/
I don't think its really worth switching just for that though. 
(When I first started I got a coupla books on other dists but found them
almost uselessI find general informatrion books MUCH better)

Tech manualshmmm maybe
