Folks keep raving about what we're trying to do over at http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/
We were newbies not too long ago -- and we're writing down our experiences to provide newbie-friendly introductions to Debian/Linux so that today's newbies might have life just a bit better than we did. We've been mentioned on debian-weekly-news http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2001/14/ (We're getting to be famous!) Wouldn't you like to help? http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ If you've overcome a hurdle or found your way through a setup process or figured out how to configure something tricky, jot down your experience -- and save the world, one newbie at a time. http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ We need contributing authors (intros and how-to's) -- and seasoned docbook/dsssl people -- and creative web types -- and folks who've figured out emacs macros, exim configs, port forwarding, diskless servers, apache tricks, setting up sound, using the mouse on consoles AND within X, mutt setup ideas, vim tricks and tips... Whatever you've learned, you can help us, and also help countless newbies from Around the Globe. http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ And did I mention we have fun doing it? -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #8 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Search for Debian PACKAGES online with this shortcut: http://packages.debian.org/<packagename> If you can't find it right off, just hop to the "search packages" link that's offered there.
