I have 2 identical machines running a few medium size websites. One is
a production machine, the other is an identically (or 99% so) setup
machine used for development. Currently, when features on the
development server are adequately tested, they are pushed into
production.
Due to a tight budget
www.linuxnewbie.com/
http://www.linux.org
There's absolutely loads of stuff on the web.
or, for various books:
http://search.oreilly.com/cgi-bin/search?term=debian&category=All&pref=all
There are plenty of other publishers that print Debian books also.
And this mailing list, ofcourse :-)

Well, it's a bit difficult to say what you need to compile ANY
program. Of course you need the compiler, probably make, and a few
other helper apps. So start with task-c-dev, if you're using potato.
It will cover the basics. Then you will need -dev packages, which is
what many people forget. If
You can also try the theme-converter package. It will convert
targballs into debs.

Here's how my system is setup. Hopefully, it will help.
I have Partition Magic's Boot Manager (actually, I think it's the OS/2
boot manager) on /dev/hda. My DR-DOS and Win95 partitions are marked
a bootable on /dev/hda. Debian GNU/Linux is on /dev/hdb. The root
partition is /dev/hdb1.

How do you blank the screen, as in a screensaver. It was working
before, bul all of a sudden, it doesn't and I don't know why. Being
that this is Linux, I figure there must be a way to fix this without
rebooting, which I have a sneaking suspicion might solve the problem.

They are moved from server to server. If one server strips the 8th

Try downloading the deb source, patching the source, and then using
dpkg-buildpackage or dpkg --build. (Check the man pages.) Make sure
you get the source from the debian website or with apt, if you have
the deb-src lines in sources.list, as it will contain debian

I'm a bit confused about woody and potato. I though that potato is
always the newest, bleeding edge distribution. And that woody is the
code-name for the 2.2 release. So why is unstable pointing to woody,
and frozen to potato? I found this out when I tried to get gimp1.1
