deb-shlibs(5)
NAME
deb-shlibs - Debian shared library information file
DESCRIPTION
shlibs files map shared library names and versions (sonames) to
dependencies suitable for a package control file. There is one entry
per line. Blank lines are not allowed. Lines beginning with an #
character are considered commentary, and are ignored. All other lines
must have the format
[type:] library version dependencies
The library and version fields are whitespace-delimited, but the
dependencies field extends to the end of the line. The type field is
optional and normally not needed.
The dependencies field has the same syntax as the Depends field in a
binary control file, see deb-control(5).
EXAMPLES
The shlibs file for a typical library package, named libcrunch1, that
provides one library whose soname is libcrunch.so.1, might read
libcrunch 1 libcrunch1 (>= 1.2-1)
The dependencies must mention the most recent version of the package
that added new symbols to the library: in the above example, new
symbols were added to version 1.2 of libcrunch. This is not the only
reason the dependencies might need to be tightened.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.
Free Software
Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.
Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.
Free Books
The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.
Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.
Education
Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.
Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
