For those new to Debian, there is an comprehensive and free handbook available online
called

. At a minimum, you
should read
Chapter 6, Maintenance and Updates: The APT Tools
, of this topic, which de-
tails how to use the apt set of tools for package management. There is also a free class
offered by the Linux Foundation and edX called

The class is fairly recent and it does not appear to use the Debian distribution, but it does
seem like a representative course on generic Linux information. Lastly, there are several
Debian IRC channels on the OFTC IRC network. Most of the channels start with
#debi-
an
and you should be able to ask specific questions there. The BeagleBoard channel is
#beagle
on
Freenode
, and there will be people there who can help answer your ques-
tions as well.
