DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly the newbiedoc command. The program newbiedoc is a small script that starts your favorite browser and

       browser.

       newbiedoc can also be run directly from the Debian menu in the X Window System: Debian -> Help -> NewbieDOC.

       NewbieDOC  documentation  is  in  the form of HTML files which form a snapshot of the documentation currently being developed by the Debian
       NewbieDOC project. Visit the wiki at http://newbiedoc.berlios.de for the most recent versions, or if you wish to contribute to the project.
       The wiki is very easy to use. All Debian users are encouraged to author, edit or add comments to the articles.

       Each NewbieDOC item is either explicitly licensed by its author, or licensed globally under the GNU Free Documentation License.
