As suggested, http://www.debian.org/, though quality of docs varies. Also, once you've installed your system, /usr/share/doc. Note that some packages install documentation separately, and some system documentation is a separate package entirely. Highly worth installation for a general-purpose system. For books, my recommendation is the Sams book, _Installing Debian GNU/Linux_, by Thomas Down (~$25), covering basic installation: http://www1.fatbrain.com/asp/bookinfo/bookinfo.asp?theisbn=0672317451vm= The O'Reilly Debian book by Bill McCarty is uncharacteristically poor. -- Karsten M.

Now it may be possible to get and read these docs before installing, but I'm not sure where'd you go to read them. They can be gotten as packages at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages which is a place you can search on package names, and names of files contained in packages. After having Debian installed, and then set up a 'sources.list' you can do the following to get the Debain documentation apt-get install debian-history debian-guide doc-debian The debian-guide is an installation guide and I think is available online at http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/#new-inst Hope that helps a little, and good luck.

Hello all. I have decided to make the jump from RedHat to Debian but I am having some problems. If any of you know of some rather informative web sites, howto's, tutorials, and anything else that would be of help, I sure would love to check them out. I have been around linux for just over a year so I am not totally lost, but I am in need of some documentation to figure things out. Thanks for the help. -- Don Collier [EMAIL PROTECTED] The first web site I would look at is www.debian.org. You might also want to get yourself a Debian CD set and start with the docs that are found on the first CD. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
