I just updated "Debian Reference" CVS to address some of the lack in tutorial by completely rearranging them. I did not cut-and-paste contents from debian-guide but influence is clear :-) Thanks John Goerzen and Ossama Othman. If there is some more contents needed, please let me know. My latest draft in HTML output is at: http://qref.sourceforge.net/Debian/reference/ch-tutorial.en.html So I will not oppose removal from package pool for Sarge. I will upload new version in few days.
