The book is a good idea, grab your book and your install disks and then
just experiment. One of the great things about debian is it's package
system, you can install or remove anything you like. Just look through
dselect or apptitude and install whatever looks interesting. If you find
you made a mistake, just remove it, or leave it there for another day.
This stuff is all available to you, but I doubt you'll ever get around
to it all. At least I haven't!
