debian x11/xfree86 howto ???
First, let it be known that I've been a cli guy for too many years.
I've been running various flavors of linux since 1.x days. Mostly,
though, I'd just telnet or ssh in and do what I need via cli.
Occasionally, I'd take a stab at xfree86 and I could get a fairly nice
gui; but, I always want to tweak it more. X11 is a very complex system
with alot of intimidating files. Yes, manpages help; but, it is always
intimidating to hunt through so many files and manpages to do some small
thing.
I just setup a minimal potato and dist-upgrade'd to woody last weekend.
Wow! Things are so much simpler to install and prettier out of the
`box'! Nevertheless, I'm back to wanting to tweak and tweak.
What is the best all-round resource that explains the relationships
between all of those files? Is there some howto that explains the
system as a whole -- *not* the 50,000 foot level of how pretty
everything is -- rather, a system administrator's guide to tell me: if
you want to do this goto that file and its manpage, &c. How about a
website? Book?
What do you think?

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we
think we know. The more I know, the more I know I don't know . . .
