(...) There are updated books, but not all are written in English language: http://www.debian.org/doc/books In fact, before installing Debian I bought and read a printed book on my language (Spanish), easily available at any megastore or bookshop here in Spain. True is that is not a very common situation. There are many other distros that lack for printed handbooks and guides aimed to newbies or starters and, when available, mostly are written in English, so I was very surprised (and delighted) to be able to buy a book for Debian -wrote in Spanish- without much effort :-) Debian own guides and docs are also great and translated into many languges and can always be printed. http://www.debian.org/doc/index.en.html Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
