I disagree with this statement. Understanding a core concept will really 
help a lot, but will by far not be enough for solving a particular issue.
Most time learning how to get a problem fixed in a Linux system is in my 
experience spent on finding out that a receipt, with a high impact 
factor (founded in the past) and (therefore) staying available highly 
ranked somewhere on the internet for ever, simply does not work anymore. 
Once having found an update to it, or having found a meanwhile different 
approach, and having got my problem solved, I am prepared to next time 
find a solution a little bit faster - because I know already more about 
what might not work anymore, and especially know for which newer 
keywords better to watch out for and which older keywords to avoid. But 
there is so much material published in the internet, that it is getting 
more and more difficult to find relevant information.
Did in Linux and Debian the tools change, or did the concept change? 
Efficient is to learn right away the most up-to-date concepts and 
up-to-date tools, and both can be expected to go hand in hand. The OP is 
clearly asking for an up-to-date tutorial, and if finding it he can 
bypass a lot of frustration and will not lose so much time for figuring 
out which information out there in the internet is nowadays obsolete. 
The OP will just be well trained in short time.

So, I share the question of the OP. Does anybody with a sound knowledge 
on Debian has a profound, up-to-date tutorial to recommend, or would 
know if the one linked in the OP's question is indeed up-to-date and 
nicely Debian compatible?

Best wishes,
Marco
