Any help will be appreciated. There are lots of books on Linux now, that can provide a good overview for a newbie. I found 16 of them when I searched: http://www.bookpool.com The Linux Journal (also available in print form) provides a table of contents and some articles online at: http://www.ssc.com/lj/index.html The Linux Gazette is 100% available electronically at: http://www.ssc.com/lg/lg_frontpage.html The Debian project has an FAQ at: http://www.debian.org/FAQ/. To find out about specific packages, you might try the Linux Software Map at: http://www.boutell.com/lsm/ (I suppose I should add that I have no commercial interest in any of the above organizations -- but I wish I did!)
