Are there any other on-line resources dealing with Debian Linux?

Software in the Public Interest, Inc ., operates a WWW-server at http://www.debian.org which provides additional on-line resources. See also Section on contributing to Debian Linux. Generally, users should also exploit the WWW search engines for addressing specific problems. For example, the DejaNews news search service is an invaluable resource for exploring Usenet newsgroups. Try this search: linux & WD This tells DejaNews to report any postings containing either the string “linux” or the string “WD” When I used it, I discovered that my WD card (which I’ve only had for 6 months) has been declared outmoded by Adaptec, now that they’ve bought WD. So there are no drivers available. (Bless Adaptec’s hearts.) Or search the WWW using the Altavista Search Engine. For example, searching on the string “cgi-perl” gives a more detailed explanation of this package than the brief description field in its control file.
