Fwd: Debian intro for UNIX users

( for Matt's attention )

>>There seems to be a need for a short, straightforward introduction to Debian
>>that assumes general UNIX knowledge (either a free or commercial variant).
>>Most of the Debian guides that I see also serve as introductions to Linux or
>>UNIX, and spend a lot of time on installation tasks, file and directory
>>concepts, and the like.

>>I have introduced several UNIX-savvy friends of mine to Debian, so I drew
>>on my
>>experience and started writing something. It assumes that the user has
>>moderate UNIX skills, and already has an installed Debian system to work with
>>(there is plenty of installation documentation lying about), and tries to
>>impart the information necessary to "get things done" in Debian as quickly as
>>possible.

>>A table of contents is below, and the work in progress is at

>>appreciated.
