UPDATE: Ενσωμάττωσα τις αλλαγές του Αλέξη και και το κείμενο του Κώστα για το ΕΛΛΑΚ. Σύντομα θα ανεβάσω κάπου και μια απλή σελίδα HTML για να υπάρχει κάπου ως μόνιμη σελίδα. Open Source Debian GNU/Linux Guides ELLAK is pleased to announce the release of an Open Source Guide in Greek about Debian GNU/Linux, one of the most respected Linux distributions. The guide deals with most of the aspects of installing version 3.0 (codenamed 'woody') of Debian and many aspects of everyday use and administration. It has been released under the Free Documentation License (FDL) and is available in many popular document formats, like OpenOffice, MS Word, PDF, Postscript, HTML, RTF and plain text. Furthermore, it will soon be available in a printed form as well. It can be downloaded from <A HREF="http://www.ellak.gr/pub/OpenGuides/Debian/";> http://www.ellak.gr/pub/OpenGuides/Debian/</A>. Note: Please note that the guide is written in Greek. Your computer must be able to display greek characters properly. This guide is only one of a series of Open Source Guides that GRNET is releasing. At the moment, OpenOffice and Mozilla have also been extensively documented in two similar guides. More information about these guides can be found in their respective announcements: [LINKS] About Debian (copied from www.debian.org) Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux. Debian GNU/Linux provides more than a pure OS: it comes with more than 8700 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.
