"The beginner’s handbook" is a simplified manual to install and take-over the Debian system.
You will find in the following pages the answers to your first questions concerning the Debian GNU/Linux system, its history, how to obtain it, to install it, to take-over it, to configure and administrate it.
You will be able to go further and obtain information concerning the privacy protection, the backing up of your data, and the various actors of the Free Software world.
Usually, the manuals begin by teaching you the theoretical basis and the usage of the terminal. This manual takes the very side of the "graphical environment": it is designed to let you start quickly with Debian, screen powered on, fingers on the keyboard and the mouse nearby.
