[Hi list: post here is notify of response. perhaps some of the below useful for debian documentation links?]
Hi Mike. You can start with these, and click around: http://www.debian.org/ http://www.debianplanet.org/ And you can search for things like: - shell tutorial [interesting result: http://linuxcommand.org/learning_the_shell.html ] - shell scripting tutorial - bash scripting tutorial - linux tutorial - debian tutorial [interesting results: http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue15/debian.html http://www.debian.org/doc/ddp ] and even - unix tutorial [interesting results: http://www.isu.edu/departments/comcom/unix/workshop/unixindex.html http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ http://www.math.utah.edu/lab/unix/unix-tutorial.html The Unix Programming Environment, by Brian W. Kernighan and Rob Pike, Prentice-Hall, 1984. http://bromide.ocean.washington.edu/unix.tutorial.html http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/ ...and that was just some of the first google page of about 456,000 matches! you're in -damn- good hands! ] since debian is a linux is a unix work-alike. note: I tried every one of these searches, with spectacular results for each. at a web search engine like http://www.google.com/ or yahoo or whatever. All of the above will work with plain text; X is optional but in -no- way is it necessary. Everything you learn can be done in plain text mode. Pretty much, the only assumption I have made in this response is that you are computer literate (turn computer on, shutdown properly, can read and attempt to understand error messages, can read reference material). The important thing is that you take things in in -small- pieces, actually try each piece, and think about the result you get. -Jim On Thu, 16 May 2002 13:59:43 +0100 "Dupont, Michael" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear Sirs, > the http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/users-guide/ is not available... > Can you provide a list of good starting places for beginnners with debian > linux? > > Thanks, > mike > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
