"apt-get install"?? groan, there go the next three months for a start............the nice Debian book has a section on it, minds.
apt-get is really cool though and easy to use, what you do is when you have installed debian you can apt-get software for example you want samba to install it you type (as root) in a terminal apt-get install samba thats it samba is now installed (although the fun part of configuring has now begun) if it requires any other software it will automagically get it and install configure it for you.
Another useful command is (for example I want samba) apt-cache search samba
returns this list of software so I can choose which it is I really need, or points me at other related software.
