This file documents dselect for first-time users, and is intended to help in getting Debian installed successfully. It makes no attempt to explain everything, so when you first meet dselect, work through the help screens.

This User's Guide is nothing but a reformatted Progeny User's Guide. Contents are adjusted for the standard Debian system.

Over 300 pages with a good tutorial to start using the Debian system from GUI desktop and shell command line.

This manual is for a new Linux user, to help such a user get acquainted with Linux once they have installed it, or for a new Linux user on a system which someone else is administering.

A manual, oriented towards the end-user.

This manual provides at least an overview of everything a user should know about their Debian GNU/Linux system (i.e. setting up X, how to configure network, accessing floppy disks, etc.). It is intended to bridge the gap between the Debian Tutorial and the detailed manual and info pages supplied with each package.

It is also intended to give some idea of how to combine commands, on the general Unix principle, that there is always more than one way to do it.

This document is mentioned in the introduction of the Policy manual. It covers all system administration aspects of a Debian system.

This manual covers all network administration aspects of a Debian system.

A hands-on reference guide to the Debian GNU/Linux system that shows, in over 1,500 recipes, how to use it for everyday activities — from working with text, images, and sound to productivity and networking issues. Like the software the book describes, the book is copylefted and its source data is available.

This manual tries to be a quick but complete source of information about the APT system and its features. It contains much information about the main uses of APT and many examples.

This document describes the issues related to Euro support in the Debian GNU/Linux operating system, and provides a guideline of how to properly configure a system and its applications for this purpose.

Documentation about the internals of dpkg, and how to write new tools for package management using the dpkg libraries. This would be useful to a limited audience only.

Introduction on how to create a .deb, using debmake.

Helps new developers to create a package for the Debian GNU/Linux system.

This manual describes the technical aspects of creating Debian binary and source packages. It also documents the interface between dselect and its access method scripts. It does not deal with the Debian Project policy requirements, and it assumes familiarity with dpkg's functions from the system administrator's perspective.

This manual tells the user where to look for the document that covers their questions.

A list of books of note to Debian users or maintainers.

I've been thinking for a long time that we need a Debian dictionary. This project definitely has its own peculiar lingo. Perhaps we could set up a WWW form somewhere so that folks could submit new terms and definitions as they occurred to them.

This document explains how Debian repositories work, how to create them, and how to add them to the sources.list correctly.
