A few more debian links and tips, not all relevant to the zaurii but might be useful :
snapshot.debian.net : all debian package archived by date... since 2005 ! Useful if you use sid and need to downgrade...
debian-administration.org have a lot of good articles, not only the one linked on the first post, be sure to check it out
planet.debian.org : the URL says it all
gmane.org : gmane is great for reading and searching debian mailing lists.
When using the package search tool, be sure to check the package bug page, and the package developper information page. Lots of information there.
you can also get a package bug page by going directly to bugs.debian.org/<package name>, and to a bug number by going to bugs.debian.org/<bug number>
This work for package search as well : packages.debian.org/<package name>
Speaking of bugs, use reportbug to report a bug. It helps.
Also, remember to check /usr/share/doc/<package name>/README.Debian and /usr/share/doc/<package name>/changelog.Debian... Some information is there that you won't find anywhere else.
Finally, do yourself a favor, when you do something, try to do it "the debian way". If you don't know the debian way, Google a bit, or search in the packages descriptions... Debian is meant to be user-friendly, but only with users that are open and friendly enough to search for the documentation
