Point your browser at http://lists.debian.org

Search through them thar hills. There be GOLD in thar.

Forums are over rated for support, the Mailing Lists that debian uses
(about a bah-million of them) seem to work really well. You can read
them as newsgroups at gmane.org and various other places. You can search
them yourself... (a bit tricky) but gmane DOES work on this as well.

Also, you are missing the IRC side of Debian. Point your IRC client at
irc.debian.org

Join debian-user channel and sit back and watch.

Tween these two things, all that is needed. Another place for everyone
to be watching... ugh. That'd be MURDER.
