I've been using computers since before Linus was born.
I'm making the switch from a certain OS ;\
I'm also one of those strange people who actually reads docs.
What do I do when I find terms such as initrd or udeb ?
And before I get too much grief from youngsters - From personal experience
do you have any clue of relevance of CORC, CUPL, WATFOR, WATFIV, 026, 12AX7,
etc, etc ;/ ?
I'm looking for a self sufficient reference.
P.S. I'm also of era of S100, CPM, KIM, SYM, CBM etc etc etc ;)
Try http://wiki.debian.org/Glossary
That's what I was looking for.
and
http://www.infodrom.org/Debian/doc/acronyms.html
That site also has some interesting pages. "The Debian
Maintenance HOWTO" (
http://www.infodrom.org/Debian/doc/maint/ ) appears to rate
a detailed read.
And a general google may work for some things (depending on how
overloaded it is), maybe with "debian" added to the search.
Google is a last resort. Filtering "wheat from chaff" can be
a pain.
