====== Debian GNU/Linux ======
Some hints which don't fit elsewere at the moment :-)

===== What else to find in the debian corner: =====
{{indexmenu>.#1|js}}

===== keyboard layout =====
If you want to change your keyboard layout (if the us default has been installed) to e.g. a german layout:

  - dpkg-reconfigure locales (choose the locale you need, e.g. German 
  - dpkg-reconfigure console-data
     - OK 
     - choose keymap from list
     - querz 
     - German 
     - Standard 
     - latin1 - no dead keys 
     - OK 

===== The alternatives system =====
You can easy specify (for all users) what editor should be used:

<code bash>
# shows what's configured:
update-alternatives --display editor

# joe will be the standard editor to be used:
update-alternatives --set editor /usr/bin/joe 

# or to use vim instead:
update-alternatives --set editor /usr/bin/vim.basic
