Hi!
Im also very new to debian (i have like 2 weeks since i installed it),
and i feel the same way; although it looks *very* scary at first, in the
end its much more easy to mantain that any of the other distros out
there. apt-get solely could be the reason to change your entire
distribution to Debian, it is oh so cool. ;)
I too have been browsing the site, and i guess you are correct, theres
not much up-to-date docs...i guess this is because since the debian
community does not get as much "air-time" as the "mainstream" distros (a
la redhat), well, not so many documentation is put out for it...
i would happily write some documentation if i only had the time to do so :)
regards,
Camilo

Hello, I switched to debian about a year back and found that though
looks scary at first, it actually is easier to maintain and live with
than any other distributions. But the problem is that one has to find
them! Lot of things can be done debian way but know one knows
them...why? Docs are outdated or simply missing.
Have a look at
http://www.debian.org/doc/ddp
Many are obsolete/planned and development version. Only thing that is
well covered is installing Debian...
Still many things need to be addressed; example :
automounting cdrom;
how to play music cds;
removing/installing services;
locales issues;
maybe hardware-list too (right now its more than 6 months old... thats
a no-no)
many more, i cant remember them now
these are small things but can drive you crazy when u need them...
After reading doc one should get sence of completness , which is
missing...
I personally feel that only thing bad abt debian is its documentation.
We need somethng like freebsd handbook! What do u all think, maybe i
am wrong, but i want to know how many of u feel there is need for Own
debain doc s
