NAME

       newbiedoc - Debian documentation for newbies by newbies.

SYNOPSIS

       newbiedoc
       newbiedoc file

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly the newbiedoc command. The program newbiedoc is a small script that starts your favorite browser and
       displays the index page of the NewbieDOC documentation package. Optionally, you can specify the name of a specific  file  to  open  in  the
       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.
