<H2>General Information</H2>
<p>For general information on Debian, please see our web site,
<a href="http://www.debian.org/">http://www.debian.org/</a>, and our ftp site,
<a href="ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/">ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/</a>.
<p>Our FAQ will answer many of your questions. You can view it at
<a href="http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/">http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/</a>
or
<a href="ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/FAQ/">ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/FAQ/</a>.
Postscript, text, html, and info versions are on the ftp site.
<p>You may find the <a href="http://www.debian.org/cgi-bin/fom">Debian faqomatic</a> useful.
It can be used to look up answers to common questions.
<H2>Installing and Using Debian</H2>
<p>We have a very active user mailing list where Debian users and developers can answer your questions.
Simply
<a href="http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/subscribe">subscribe</a> to <EM>debian-user</EM>
and send your question to
<a href="mailto:debian-user@lists.debian.org">debian-user@lists.debian.org</a>.
Additionally, there are user mailing lists for speakers of various
languages. See the <a href="http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/subscribe">mailing
list subscription page</a> for a list and subscription information.
All questions regarding
<UL>
<LI>installation
<LI>configuration
<LI>supported hardware
<LI>machine administration
<LI>using debian
</UL>
should be sent to a user mailing list.
<H2>Debian Development</H2>
<p>Please note that although many developers are not native speakers of
English, it is the common language for all development work. We
therefore ask that initial enquiries to developers be made in English.
If this is not possible, go through the user mailing list for your
language.
<p>If you have a more development related question, there is a mailing list the developers
use to communicate with each other.
Simply <a href="http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/subscribe">subscribe</a> to
<EM>debian-devel</EM> and then send e-mail to
<a href="mailto:debian-devel@lists.debian.org">debian-devel@lists.debian.org</a>.
<p>If you would like to file a bug against a Debian
package, see
<a href="http://www.debian.org/Bugs/">http://www.debian.org/Bugs/</a> or
<a href="ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/bug-reporting.txt">ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/bug-reporting.txt</a>
for instructions. Submitting bugs can be made easier by installing the Debian package, <em>bug</em>.
<p>If you would like to make the developers aware of a Debian security
problem in a discreet manner, send e-mail to
<a href="mailto:security@debian.org">security@debian.org</a>.
<H2>Publicity</H2>
