Dunno.

$ apt-cache search debian-guide
task-newbie-help - New user documentation
debian-guide - Text from: Debian GNU/Linux: Guide to Installation and Usage
debian-guide-es - Debian User Guide (in spanish)
debian-guide-zh-s - Debian GNU/Linux: Guide to Installation and Usage
(Chinese GB)
debian-guide-zh-t - Debian GNU/Linux: Guide to Installation and Usage
(Chinese Big5)
dwarfs-debian-guide - Dwarf's guide to installing and using Debian GNU/Linux

I've used it with some corrections to train others. The guys who were doing
the task-newbie-help stuff were putting together some awesome, though
horrible unorganized, docs.

Looks like New Riders reorged their site and the URL no longer works. Use
reportbug to report a bug for the debian web page with the link. New Riders
need help as they pulled up two win32 books under Linux :(. Ooops, make that
3 *and* a unixware book.

The "HTML online" link used to point to an online HTML version with space
for comments. Apparently New Riders has taken that down. There might be
another version of it somewhere online.

ciao,
