Upgrading in RedHat and Debian?

[Terry D. Cudney]

Hi Geoff,

	Are there any man pages for debian apps on the internet? Since I just have the base system insalled for Debian, there aren't yet any man pages. I have RedHat still available on another partition, but the Debian-spoecific man pages aren't there.
