DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #92

Ever wondered WHAT DOCUMENTATION IS ON YOUR SYSTEM? And if there was an easy way to browse it?

	apt-get install dhelp
	dhelp

or for those running the testing distribution, try doc-central as well.

Tip #92 is from Jesse Goerz

What's NewbieDoc all about?

Last week, we were Debian newbies. We suffered terribly, changing a setting, installing a package, decoding a log file. An uphill battle, every step of the way.

This week, we'll write down what we learned.

Next week, a newbie's peace-of-mind will be saved because we wrote it down.

What could be better than that?

Join NewbieDoc, and — just maybe — together we'll make Debian/Linux a kinder, gentler platform.
