Well, perhaps partially, and soon :-)  This was on c.o.l.announce not
long ago; I meant to bring it up then.  I was really pleased to hear it:


   At Matt Welsh's request, Specialized Systems Consultants has taken over
   the maintenance of Matt's book "Linux Installation & Getting Started".

   This book can be found on the web at
   http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/LDP/gs/gs.html

   It can also be accessed through SSC's Linux Resources Page,
   http://www.ssc.com/linux/ under The Linux Documentation Project.

   "Linux Installation and Getting Started is an installation and new-user
   guide for the Linux system, meant for Unix novices and Gurus alike. It
   contains information on how to obtain Linux, installation of the
   software, a beginning tutorial for new Unix users, and an introduction
   to system administration. It is meant to be general enough to be
   applicable to any distribution of the Linux software."

   Currently, SSC is working on a new installation chapter just for the
   Debian Linux release, and has plans to do chapters related to each of
   the major distributions.

   If you have any suggestions or corrections pertaining to this book,
   please send them to [EMAIL PROTECTED]


(There's nothing Debian-specific in those versions on the web yet.)
Does anyone on the list happen to know more about this; anyone working
with them yet?

Blatant self-promotion dept.: The Linux System Administrators'
Guide (SAG), my book, is not specific to any Linux distribution,
although it does contain traces of all the distributions I've
personally used during these four years.

Fair warning dept.: It doesn't cover too many things (actually,
it covers very few things), but it tries to be thorough about
what it does cover. Oh, and it contains a joke. You have been
warned.

URL dept.: . The announcement
contains the table of contents, so you can see if it has what
you want before you download and print.

Any Linux books that focus on Debian?

[Joe Emenaker]

I'm interested in getting a book on adminstering Linux systems, but just
about *every* book I look at focuses on Slackware. *Blech!*.

Are there any books that focus on Debian?
