DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #12 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com>
:
Where is the DOCUMENTATION? It's all over the place... and there's
lots of it. Much was written for non-debian distributions, and
much was written long, long ago. But try these anyhow: on your
own system, try "man" and "info" and "apropos", and also look
under /usr/share/doc/<package>* ... Online, there's linuxdoc.org,
debianhelp.org, and debian.org/doc/ of course. Also try
http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/general/index-deb-help-sys.html
Also see http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ ...
