I'd generally go with a few general GNU/Linux references (e.g.: _Runnining Linux_ and _Linux in a Nutshell_ from O'Reilly), and the Debian docs both online and at http://www.debian.org/. There is an O'Reilly _Learning Debian GNU/Linux_ book, but I don't particularly recommend it. Surprisingly, Sams (a MacMillan imprint) has a rather good, slim, red-spined volume on Debian which covers basic installation and configuration. It ships with Slink (dated), but is otherwise quite good. I make a habit of avoiding Sams imprints at all costs, it's a revlation that they can actually produce a book worth the paper it's printed on -- and then some: http://www1.fatbrain.com/asp/bookinfo/bookinfo.asp?theisbn=0672317451 Thomas Down, _Installing Debian Gnu/GNU/Linux_, Sams, (c) 11/1999, 197 Pages, ISBN: 0672317451 List Price: $24.99 -- Karsten M.
