What do you mean by "evaluate", please? If you simply want a path to be set for all users, add it to /etc/profile:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/profile # /etc/profile: system-wide .profile file for the Bourne shell (sh(1)) # and Bourne compatible shells (bash(1), ksh(1), ash(1), ...). PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games" export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/j2se/1.3 export CLASSPATH=.:/lib/tools.jar:/lib/dt.jar ... All users inherit the environment in /etc/profile. Do you mean something else? Also, in general, debian.org has links to fairly good documentation, and much of it can also be installed locally.
