No, a better paraphrase might be: "Please suggest resources (both
online and off) from where I could learn more about Debian-based
systems, specifically how to parse log files for errors".

Actually I ask so that I could research the problems myself. My
ultimate goal is to learn, not to fix any particular problem.

If I were having a specific problem, then yes I would google it. But
googling for "how to parse linux log files" is not getting me any good
learning material. I had hoped that the gurus here might have come
across such a resource in their travels.
