## 8.3. Further Reading and Information

If you need information about a particular program, you should first try `man `program``, or `info `program``.

There is lots of useful documentation in `/usr/share/doc` as well. In particular, `/usr/share/doc/HOWTO` and `/usr/share/doc/FAQ` contain lots of interesting information. To submit bugs, look at `/usr/share/doc/debian/bug*`. To read about Debian-specific issues for particular programs, look at `/usr/share/doc/(package name)/README.Debian`.

The Debian web site contains a large quantity of documentation about Debian. In particular, see the Debian FAQ and the Debian Mailing List Archives. The Debian community is self-supporting; to subscribe to one or more of the Debian mailing lists, see the Mail List Subscription page.

A general source of information on GNU/Linux is the Linux Documentation Project. There you will find the HOWTOs and pointers to other very valuable information on parts of a GNU/Linux system.
