Could you please reword the sentence on the following webpage, to remove the implication that a debian user will always be male.

I suggest:
This manual is for new Linux users, to help such users get acquainted with Linux once they have installed it; or for a new Linux user on a system which someone else is administering.
which obviates the ugly and irritating s/he, and avoids the cumbersome he or she. (And its emphatically correct form: she or he.)
