I'm definitely no expert, rather a newbie myself, compared to some of the guru's here, but i think i might be able to suggest some first steps to a newbie, especially given a good 'doze' experience (i mean that in longstanding, the experiences themselves are bad ;) ). In other words i for myself would subscribe to a "debian-newcomer" list, and do my best to help.
