An great idea. A already thinked of something like that some weeks ago.
I imagined to put the whole info in a small X/ncurses-Tool like the
well known tip-of-the-day-box, good sorted and easy accessible, with
some search-boxes for dhelp, info, man etc.
A tool like that could be showed to users after to first installation,
after asking thim for this.

That's important too, the user could just be asked for the level of his
Linux experience:
1. Beginner (a quide to man/info-pages etc. should be presented to him as first).
2. Debian-beginner, comming from other distribution (Debian-typical things)
3. Debian-User, coming from older distribution (significant changes etc.)

A good question...

Plug-and-Play is really nice, unfortunately it only works 50% of the time.
To be specific the "Plug" almost always works. --unknown source
