[wplug] debian books.

[John Harrold]

hey.

i want to muck around with debian. i did this once before, but it prooved
to be a little harder to adapt from redhat than i thought it would be, this
time, i thought i would start with a book. i started looking around for a
book specific to debian. from google i found this page:

http://www.debian.org/doc/books

of the books there this one looks to be the most promising:

http://www.polaris.net/~dwarf/dwarfs-debian-guide_2.2.98.pdf

however it's a little dated (~2001). i was wondering if anyone could tell
me how appropriate this book would be for what i want to do. i need a book
that describes generic installation and configuration issues (network,
dpkg, etc.) as well as how to configure stuff like nis, nfs, etc. i can do
this stuff in redhat, but the redhat way (e.g.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/) versus the debian way (i have no idea ;))
has prooven to make the transition a little more difficult. 

so can any debian users comment on the book above, or suggest a better
book? i have no aversion to buying something.

 the holy name of liberty and democracy?
