cool you made it! welcome.

now comes the hard part -- and the fun part -- having your
debian system do what you want it to do.

here's what you need to do first:

1) passwd
   make sure you set a password for root.

2) decide what you'd like to do with your system.

3) read everything twice, including the stuff at
   newbieDoc.sourceForge.net :) . then read it again.
   take notes.

4) post specific questions here.

recommended:

apt-get install task-newbie-help
less /usr/doc/task-newbie-help/README.Debian

apt-get install debian-guide
lynx `dpkg -L debian-guide | grep debian-guide/html/noframes/index.html`

note that "double quotes" and 'single quotes'
and `backticks` are significant, as is UPPERCASE
and lowercase.

Wondering what you should BACK UP -- and what you shouldn't? Here's

This is a frequent topic on debian-user; check the archives at
lists.debian.org for other backup approaches -- search for
"backup scheme".
