You upgraded to _sid_? Not too wise for a newbie. You may encounter serious non-newbie-fixable problems. Unfortunately there's no 'downgrade' command, so if you've already put some time in getting what you want, good luck. Otherwise maybe you should consider re-installing woody, and if you upgrade just upgrade to sarge (testing), not sid. > > Finally I would just like to say that are truly > > enjoy > > the freedom Debian-linux now gives me: I somehow > > fell > > that I emerged from the MS matrix and now live in > > the > > free world.

Remember that everything in Debian gets done by volunteers, so if you'd like to see more documentation (and I think it's sorely needed too), find a place to contribute! The best way, is to fill a hole: you find something that's not documented, or poorly documented (probably you needed the documentation yourself for what you were doing), and fill it in. BTW, I've started working on a really basic linux-newbie help file. I'd appreciate any feedback you have; if you'd like I can email it.
