The client is always right. 2.2 or 2.3, both good choices :)

The first step is always the biggest. Debian is consistent, once
you start learning, you'll pick new things up very quickly.

So you're looking for the "Secret knowledge of the Debian" pack?
www.debian.org
www.debian.org/doc
apt-get install debian-guide
apt-get install debian-policy
apt-get install doc-debian
Try "apt-cache search debian doc" or "apt-cache search debian.*doc"
(the first one might not work on earlier versions of apt)
There may have even been a screen at the end of installation that
told you where to look for documentation.
Another way to go about things is to find something specific that
you want to do, but not sure how, then do a few quick searches
in the slug archive, www.debian.org and google, if that doesn't help,
ask on slug.
