- <sect1 id="debian-orientation"><title>Orienting Yourself to Debian</title>
-<para>
-
-Debian is a little different from other distributions. Even if you're
-familiar with Linux in other distributions, there are things you
-should know about Debian to help you to keep your system in a good,
-clean state. This chapter contains material to help you get oriented;
-it is not intended to be a tutorial for how to use Debian, but just a
-very brief glimpse of the system for the very rushed.

- <sect2><title>Debian Packaging System</title>
-<para>
-
-The most important concept to grasp is the Debian packaging system.
-In essence, large parts of your system should be considered under the
-control of the packaging system. These include:

-For instance, if you replace <filename>/usr/bin/perl</filename>, that
-will work, but then if you upgrade your <classname>perl</classname>
-package, the file you put there will be replaced. Experts can get
-around this by putting packages on ``hold'' in
-<command>aptitude</command>.

-
-One of the best installation methods is apt. You can use the command
-line version <command>apt-get</command> or full-screen text version
-<application>aptitude</application>. Note apt will also let you merge
-main, contrib, and non-free so you can have export-restricted packages
-as well as standard versions.

- <sect2><title>Application Version Management</title>
-<para>
-
-
-Alternative versions of applications are managed by update-alternatives. If
-you are maintaining multiple versions of your applications, read the
-update-alternatives man page.

- <sect2><title>Cron Job Management</title>
-<para>
-
-Any jobs under the purview of the system administrator should be in
-<filename>/etc</filename>, since they are configuration files. If you
-have a root cron job for daily, weekly, or nightly runs, put them in
-<filename>/etc/cron.{daily,weekly,monthly}</filename>. These are
-invoked from <filename>/etc/crontab</filename>, and will run in
-alphabetic order, which serializes them.
-
-</para><para>
-
-On the other hand, if you have a cron job that (a) needs to run as a
-special user, or (b) needs to run at a special time or frequency, you
-can use either <filename>/etc/crontab</filename>, or, better yet,
-<filename>/etc/cron.d/whatever</filename>. These particular files
-also have an extra field that allows you to stipulate the user under
-which the cron job runs.
-
-</para><para>
-
-In either case, you just edit the files and cron will notice them
-automatically. There is no need to run a special command. For more
-information see cron(8), crontab(5), and
-<filename>/usr/share/doc/cron/README.Debian</filename>.
