I was glad to read and learn about all the features of the Agenda app (pp 89..104 -- 14 whole pages!)...  So, umm,  where is it?  

In the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...ripla.gemagenda

Released on July 9th with update #62: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gemini-p...35#/updates/all

Eckk... Now I remember...  I [idid][/i] download it, but it requires a Google account, which I don't propose to submit to.

Must have blanked it from my memory!

Good guide if your focus is using Gemini with Android...

Out of 240 pages, a grand total of 2.25 are about Debian....

And 3 on Sailfish....

So it goes...

2.25 pages out of 240 equals 0.9% of the book. That's less than 1% !
Thanks for the stats ArchiMark.  The Gem is specified as Android OS, Linux OS (dual-boot) on the company website, so 2.2% Debian + Sailfish of the user guide seems a bit skewed, even accounting for ease of use.  
Personally, I came here for the Sailfish and stayed for the Debian, (okay the keyboard is a nice touch too), so can I put the other android 97.8% of the pdf straight on the log burner or is some of it general, about the hardware, etc?  
Anyway, this site has a lot more knowledge about the Gem and is much more of a user guide for me.

Well said, MC.....

FWIW, I knew up front from all of PC's descriptions, interviews, etc, that Android would be their main focus. So, no issue with that. Just a bit more skewed than I would have liked.

And yes, some of the pdf, is about general use of the hardware.
