Go to www.cheapbytes.com and order Dale Sheetz's(one of the Debian developers) book 'Debian User's Guide'. The book normally comes with 3-CD's of Debian but Cheapbytes is value adding 4 more cd's to the package, for a total of 7 CD's !!!!. The total is only $34. You might also want a look at many of their other books at great prices.
