you might find this worth a look:

Excellent! Thanks for the resource, Wes.
cool, glad it helps.
for the record, the debian-reference manual can be installed locally
with
$ sudo apt-get install debian-reference-en
or, if your japanese/french/italian/portuguese is better than your
english, in wheezy you have these alternatives:
debian-reference-ja
debian-reference-fr
debian-reference-it
debian-reference-pt
or collect them all with
$ sudo apt-get install debian-reference
after installing any of them, do
$ debian-reference
to start reading.
the blurb:
[The] Debian Reference is intended to provide a broad overview of
Debian system administration as a post-installation user guide.
The target reader is someone who is willing to learn shell scripts
but who is not ready to read all the C sources to figure out how the
GNU/Linux system works.
