I haven't been working with Linux for long, but I have found some excellent websites/books on Linux, and even one on Debian specifically. Try these: Debian Users Guide: http://www.linuxpress.com/debusered2.htm >From DOS/Windows to Linux: http://amelia.db.erau.edu/ldp/HOWTO/DOS-Win-to-Linux-HOWTO.html http://www.informatics.sintef.no/~helged/linux_ref.html http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/ldp.html http://members.xoom.com/abihari/faq.html#top Mike _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
