We would like this book to evolve in the spirit of free software. We therefore welcome contributions, remarks, suggestions, and criticism. Please direct them to Raphaël ([email protected]) or Roland ([email protected]). For actionable feedback, feel free to open bug reports against the debian-handbook Debian package. The website will be used to gather all information relevant to its evolution, and you will find there information on how to contribute, in particular if you want to translate this book to make it available to an even larger public than today.

Wir versuchten möglichst viel Erfahrung, die wir bei der Arbeit mit Debian erlangt haben einzubringen, so dass jeder diese Distribution nutzen und so schnell wie möglich die für ihn größten Vorteile daraus ziehen kann. Wir hoffen, dass dieses Buch einen Beitrag dazu leistet, Debian weniger verwirrend und populärer zu machen, und wir freuen uns über jede Werbung dafür!

We would like to conclude on a personal note. Writing (and translating) this book took a considerable amount of time out of our usual professional activity. Since we are both freelance consultants, any new source of income grants us the freedom to spend more time improving Debian; we hope this book to be successful and to contribute to this. In the meantime, feel free to retain our services!

Bis bald!
