Greetings,

I am new to Debian and just successfully installed Woody on my laptop.
Now I would like to install the latest XFree86 and Windowmaker.

Not familiar with apt yet so any pointers to the best URL to learn more ?

Thanks so much.

You should probably check out the apt how-to:

Dee,

Ensure that your /etc/apt/sources.list is correct,
run  apt-get update
run  apt-get dist-upgrade

This should bring you up to speed, just fine.

Oh Yeah! You should add this line to your  sources.list  as it was just
posted today to the list

deb http://security.debian.org woody/updates main contrib non-free

If you end up with problems, contact me directly for one-on-one. 
Otherwise
just keep posting here. You'll get all sorts of good assists from here!

Regards,


Griz
