As a newbie of two and a half months I found one book "Debian GNU/Linux 2.1" From SAMS (ISDN 0672317001) but that 2.1 bit does make a real difference now that we are on 2.2. Here are some urls I've found particularly useful: www.debian.org/releases/potato/installguide/ is a really useful walk through of the install with plenry of robust advice on what matters and what doesn't. www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/index.en.html is the Apt Howto (English language version). One debian book I would love to see is an exhaustive guide to the whole debian package management system. Nigel -- Nigel Pauli - I.T.
