see http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ to see what we've got so
far -- and if you can help us edit our existing stuff, or add
your own tips/intros/howtos then all the better!

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #26 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com> 
:
Do you want a CONSOLE with more than 80 COLUMNS OR 24 ROWS?
Experiment with various settings from /etc/TextConfig for use
with "SVGATextMode":
	SVGATextMode 80x30x9
Try "apt-get install svgatextmode" to get it. (It won't work with
xterm or rxvt, of course -- only text-mode console display.)
